fun. have been building buzz for their most recent album Some Nights out last month and are in the midst of a supporting tour that will find them holding several shows during SXSW. Then they’ll be trekking all around the country (dates are below).
Their lead single, “We Are Young” has been out for several months and is a powerful pop anthem and the video features a guest appearance from one of PopMatters favorites, Janelle Monae (also below). You may have already heard it on Glee or in a Super Bowl Chevy commercial. Plus the band was just recently featured in an article by The New York Times.
