Who would have thought that “fun” was an adjective standing aside from the indie movement, that it would come from New York and that it would give us one of the best songs of the season. That’s right, Fun is a band from New York that recently launched their second LP titled “Some Nights”, his popularity came after they gave one of their songs to the hit TV. show Glee and to a Chevy commercial that aired during the Super Bowl XLVI and that it’s still on TV playing a lot.

Two weekends ago I went to see them a day before the launching of “Some Nights” in an acoustic concert organized by 98.7FM on the penthouse roof of The Hollywood Tower. After the host introduced them with the routine line: “Are you guys having FUN?”, this time with a gimmick that made us smile in an almost forced way.

With the appearance of the vocalist Nate Ruess, guitarrist Andrew Dost and pianist Jack Antonoff to the stage and after just a few notes of the first song of the night, I noticed Andrew has one of the best voices of these indie pop trend. I could not avoid telling to myself: “if this was The Voice everyone would turn around in a second”. His voice makes you feel the lyrics, enjoy the music and ask for more.
