fun. with Sid Vicious

One of the bands that my girlfriend and I enjoyed listening to last year was the indie pop act, fun. (yes, that's how it's normally spell it out). The band is comprised of members from The Format (Nate Ruess), Anathallo (Andrew Dost) and Steel Train (Jack Antonoff). What makes fun. different from any other band is that they utilize elements of broadway, big band and power pop and incorporate them into their brand of indie rock. What resulted is a sound that is bold, energetic and full of spirit. Their debut album, Aim & Ignite is one of the most unique and enjoyable listening experiences of 2010. Every song that record is nothing short of sensational. One of the songs on the record, "Light A Roman Candle With Me" is a favorite of ours. It's a sweet romantic song that is playful as it is sweet and it's a song that my girlfriend and I would love to do a music video for. Speaking of music video, there is no official music video for "Roman Candle", but I did find this awesome live session of fun. playing the same song. As an added bonus, the video also includes the song "Take Your Time (Coming Home)" which is also featured on their debut album and Sid Vicious from the legendary Sex Pistols makes an appearance.
