Fun. Is Coming To Tuscaloosa!

Congrats to fun. for being recognized for great music at the Grammys, with major category wins for Best Song and Best New Artist. I still remember the first time I heard the song "We Are Young." A co-worker sent me the video clip to check out for possible airplay consideration. I was instantly hooked and knew it would be huge hit! An anthem of youth which was a signature breakthrough #1 hit song for the band.

Success continued for fun. with the follow up single release "Some Nights." I hear influences from the band Queen on this song and vocals reminiscent of Freddie Mercury and at times T-Pain? Yes, T-Pain with the auto-tune feature used in parts of the song.

Now, fun. is on their third single release, "Carry On." A sing along bar song feel with a throwback guitar solo bridge. Really, how may songs have you heard lately which have a guitar rip like that? Haha It's cool and the song appears to be another major hit for the guys.

Just imagine seeing fun. live?! I bet they are amazing live and they're coming to Tuscaloosa Amphitheater on September 16th with special guests Tegan and Sara. Tickets go on sale Friday (2/15) at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster and the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater Box Office.
