As if all that weren't enough, fun. will herald their new album with a very special sold-out hometown headline show, slated for November 9th at New York's famed Bowery Ballroom. A Los Angeles show at the Troubadour is also slated for November 14th; tickets for that show go on sale on this Saturday, September 24th.
Having earned widespread acclaim with their 2009 debut album, "AIM AND IGNITE," fun. decided to raise the stakes with their next album. A behind-the-scenes look at the making of fun.'s new album, due in early 2012, with producer Jeff Bhasker is streaming now at Complex.com (), as well as the band's own .
fun. began in 2008 when Nate Ruess teamed up with Andrew Dost and Jack Antonoff to meld an array of diverse inspirations into their own irresistible and freewheeling pop songcraft. The band drew instant attention for their contemporary rethinking of classic 70s pop, where ornate arrangements and inspired orchestrations meet present-day rock 'n' roll. Fit to burst with richly prolix lyricism and intricate melodic twists and turns, "AIM AND IGNITE" earned copious critical praise: Paste praised their "bubbly, pop-synth songs," and Huffington Post said of the band, "[fun. has] been quite on a roll since the release of their well-received debut."
The band followed the album's release with a series of live appearances, including headline dates and festivals, including Coachella.
