MEMBERS OF THE FORMAT, ANATHALLO & STEEL TRAIN FORM NEW BAND, FUN

In other Steel Train news, Nate Ruess, Jack Antonoff and Andrew Dost are proud to announce a new band called Fun. Ruess, the former frontman and songwriter of the much beloved band The Format, has been quietly assembling songs for Fun, following the dissolution of his former band. Fun will be comprised of Dost, formerly with Michigan's Anathallo, and Antonoff, who is currently performing double duty with his band, Steel Train. Beginning September 1, the trio will enter a Los Angeles studio with producer Steven McDonald (Red Kross) and arranger Roger Joseph Manning Jr. (Jellyfish), to start work on their debut slated for an early 2009 release on Nettwerk Records. McDonald and Manning Jr. both worked on The Format's 2006 breakthrough Dog Problems. The band's first single will be released digitally this November, followed by a full North American tour with Jack's Mannequin beginning November 8.

The first track, "Benson Hedges," can be currently heard on Fun's MySpace Page.

What qualifies as "hipster"? For those of you less educated, hipster actually refers to the 1940s jazz and drug scene of your much-loved cannabis. So I had to call you out on that. Secondly, the Format was a great band. They wrote some really good pop tunes. I'm tired of the thoughtless assault on pop bands. If the music is shit, then it's shit. But most of our (this jam scene's) favorite bands from the 60s and 70s were pop song writers. And if you've never even listened to these bands, save the comments. Same with Jack's Mannequin. Great band.

the format WAS a shitty band that people like my younger sister listened to in order to feel rebellious. and with no reference to scenes this song fucking sucks.
