  • fun. (the band) Where Are They Now?
    It would be early 2008, when a band we know as fun stylized as fun with a period, would be formed consisting of members Nate Ruess, Jack Antonoff & Andrew Dost. They shot straight up the charts circa 2011-2012 with hits such as “We Are Young” Ft Janelle Monáe,”Some Nights” & “Carry On” and then disappeared and here’s why....

    It wasn't as simple as that. Fun started as just a side project for all 3 of them. They've always been clear that they are 3 individual artists, & Fun is an artistic side project they collaborate on when they feel inspired to do so. They went on hiatus, as in truth they each were ready to, but Nate is the one that finally pulled the lever (and each are living more fulfilling lives since).
    When We Are Young hit, Jack faced an internal artistic conflict, saying he didn't want to be remembered for We Are Young, he didn't want to be singing We Are Young when he was 35. If you're so morally & artistically bothered by the thought of performing one of your collaborative hits in just few years time, I could imagine your fellow collaborators feeling a certain kind of way….
    A lot happened to them personally and professionally in such a short amount of time, there was a lot of personal growth & artistic evolution they each went through individually.
    Nate and his gf broke up (Jack’s sister), he began dating Charlotte Ronson, he moved, and underwent a total transformation. He said it was the 1st time finally felt happy in his own skin, 1st time he was with someone else happy in their own skin, 1st time in his life he felt/saw the good in things & not automatically the negative (like winning an award but not album if the year), 1st time he’d ever written songs that _were him_ that the songs were his story of firsts. He owned up to mistakes he’d made during that time & being selfish with the last songs he wrote pre-hiatus. He grew from it, and his entire outlook and perspective changed drastically, for the better.
    Jack talked about how much the death of his other sister affected him (I believe she was 13, he 18, she had brain cancer) & how her memory was what gave him a reason to live & was the engine behind Bleachers, his solo project he started while still in Fun. He also talked about wanting to make music that, in a nutshell, is much deeper & meaningful to him, that means something to others, that he doesn’t want to “chase the ambulance” that is pop music, he wants to be away from it all to create it. In an article from the NYT, “The problem was that Fun. was merely something Mr. Antonoff was a part of; he needed the music he made to be a part of him.”.
    Which, is the same thing Nate felt.
    I mean, you can’t really blame either of them for wanting to tell their own personal stories, _personally._ They have all said it would have been easy to capitalize on their success & continue what they were doing, but that’s not what Fun was about. The inspiration to work together collaboratively was what made Fun what it was, & things changed. They changed. And it worked out for the best for all 3 of them. Jack is a successful producer working with big names like Lorde & T Swift, there’s of course Bleachers. Andrew has been enjoying experimenting with music, working on an album, scoring some films and TV shows. Nate had his solo album Grand Romantic, which peaked at 7 on US Billboard 200. Critics said it was too theatrical, but Nate was happy. A stark contrast to how he would’ve felt about it before. He is an amazing, brave artist - a true artist who has grown so much, even in the face of undeserved scrutiny. He cares more about the art & meaning, the personal connection of music rather than the numbers; conveying a story - his story. And he does it beautifully

    this band was my whole life for a while. i followed them as much as i could. i interviewed Dost on the phone. i interviewed Nate on their bus. Nattie and Noon was my brain child. i made Jack's JAIL DINNER shirt. i ended up winning a scholarship to tour with them for a week. i made a whole community of friends. the rest of the band and the crew recognized me by name at every show. i got recognized at shows by other fans because i was known in the fan community - it was awesome and my closest brush with personal fame. when i toured with them...that week included one of their very last shows where Nate was very intoxicated and behaving in ways that visibly annoyed the other band members. i had a bad feeling then and wasn't surprised when we kept holding our breath for a new album and it never came. this band will always, ALWAYS hold an incredibly special place in my heart. they taught me what i'm capable of and gave me a glimpse of my creative potential when my passion drives me. they gave me a true place to belong. it was a poor judgement call for Nate to go solo but i'll make peace with it. thank you fun. for all the firsts in my life: first photo passes, first time going on tour, first time loving myself. thank you.

If you think it sounds like a fun. album and you're a fun. fan, you can't have THAT much to complain about. To me, Nate was always the draw of fun. - no shade to Jack, I love some of the work he's produced but I'm not that interested in his music. But Nate's voice, songwriting, and lyrics are so interesting and appealing, and imo his solo work easily stands up to the best of fun.'s work.

    I have so many good memories thanks to this band. At the time when young came out, I was dating this girl which became really important in my life. We would drive around the city and sing their songs. Sadly after 6 years we had to break up.There are times when I think of her and I play this song. Immediately when the song starts, these memories of us begging to play in my head. I close my eyes and relive it once more. Then I find myself smiling and hoping that she is doing good.
