It was fun. (Alright, alright I will try to avoid the puns)

I think every few years or so a band comes along and turns my world upside down with kick ass lyrics and sound. So last night at the Hi-Fi Bar I saw the band fun. which are most well known from We Are Young thanks to Glee. And it makes me so happy how much success they've had since. Fun. is similar to my love Jack's Mannequin with the whole former band on hiatus/practically broken up thing and the whole indie pop thing going on. They even supported Jack's a few years ago! If you haven't heard of them I'd suggest having a listen to their albums. They have so much variation that no song sounds the same and are so special for different reasons but are interconnected at the same time.

Lead singer Nate jumped in dancing and jumping in his suspenders like a kid. Oh man he is just nothing short of awesome. And being a Mark Wahlberg/Matt Damon/Kevin Bacon fan that I am the fact that Nate's a look-a-like I kinda do find him attractive hehe. The songs they played was a good balance of the first and second album. They sound amazing live, energetic and connected with the crowd really well. They sound exactly as they do in the album :) The other band members also are amazing vocalists. The audience were brilliant and knew the songs and were really enthusiastic which is always a plus. I've decided that the Hi-Fi bar is my favourite concert venue because it is so small that it feels like a bunch of friends getting together to celebrate good music (I've probably written that in a past blog somewhere but really, it is an awesome venue and everyone gets to see the stage from where they're standing all concert venues should be like that). 

Highlights: 

Some of my favourite songs: Stars, Walking the Dog, The Gambler, Some Nights, Carry On, All the Pretty Girls (it's just the cutest song!), Take Your Time. I could go on. They were all so good!

-The little jamming bits between the bassist and guitar

It was pretty much the perfect night of entertainment. And now I feel sad because all the dates within the next 3-4 months on my calendar are assessment due dates :( 

...but at least I can have some 'fun' in between. OKAY I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF. I KNOW IT WASN'T EVEN GOOD.
