" Alternative-rock band fun. rocked out at a sold out concert in NYC last weekend and Seventeen was there to experience the, well, fun. Before the band hit the stage, opening act Now, Now performed, a girl-fronted band from Minneapolis. Now, Now&amp;#039;s mellow mood constrasted with the high energy of the crowd anticipating the opening act and did little to pump up the filled to capacity venue. But as soon as fun. took the stage, the crowd errupted into boisterous cheers and was ready to rock!  Fog covered the stage as frontman Nate Ruess crooned the opening number. Then, the band transitioned into singing their second single, &amp;quot;Some Nights&amp;quot;. The concert had a total party vibe with streamers and confetti flying everywhere and beachballs being bumped by the thousands in the crowd. Nate even encouraged the crowd to turn to the strangers standing next to them and introduce themselves, that way everyone would leave the concert with a new friend. As expected, the band saved it&amp;#039;s super popular hit song &amp;quot;We Are Young&amp;quot; for the very end and then came back for an extended encore. fun. definitely lived up to its name except we recommend they change their period to about 10 exclamation points!
