Nate Ruess returns with Fun

For those who dearly miss indie pop duo The Format, I have very good news for you. Nate Ruess, the band's singer, is back with another project including members Andrew Dost from Anathallo and Jack Antonoff of Steel Train. Fun (or fun.) have only released one song to this point, the orchestral, anthematic pop tune "At Least I'm Not As Sad (As I Used To Be)," but it's excited enough people to get 80,000 plays around the 'net in the first 24 hours of being posted.

You can hear the song at the band's MySpace page, or you can sign up for the band's email list and get the song for free! Either way, you should check this out - the track is definitely worth your time.

Also, the guys have a bunch of tour dates lined up, so pay attention!
