Fun. will be joining B.O.B. as support for Paramore's UK tour this fall. Having recently toured with Paramore in the US, fun. will be opening for the band on all their arena dates.  As previously reported, fun. is currently preparing for their US headlining tour.

As previously reported, fun. will kick things off in September with a 31-city headlining tour.  The tour now includes stops in Spokane, San Diego, and Webster Hall in New York City .  As an added bonus for attendees, the band has brought on opening acts that lie very close to their heart. The tour will feature New Jersey-born band, Steel Train – an indie rock group fronted by fun. guitarist, Jack Antonoff. To round out the bill, the band has also invited Jarrod Gorbel, the Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter behind indie act The Honorary Title.

As previously reported, fun. recently asked their fans to help create a video for the RAC Remix of latest single “Walking The Dog” (available in the UK only) by submitting 30-second clips inspired by the track.  Many great clips were submitted, and the video has been edited together!

The 2010 touring season is officially in effect for fun. Almost a week into their month long winter tour with Jack’s Mannequin, the rock/pop trio is excited to announce Spring tour dates with both Motion City Soundtrack (Apr 6–Apr 25) and Paramore (w/ Reliant K Apr 26-May16), including a stop at Bamboozle on May 2 in New Jersey. Additionally, the UK fans have spoken and fun. heard ‘em; the band will make their way overseas to play their first ever show in London at The Social on March 23 (full list of tour dates are below).

It’s been no secret that Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams is a fan of fun. From tweeting about her self-proclaimed love of the band (dear @ournameisfun - i love your music. goodnight) to tipping the band in a recent issue of Seventeen Magazine (For a good time, listen to fun. –I’m obsessed with them right now!), to selecting fun. as one of her “Big Hopes For 2010” in NME, she has been one of the band’s biggest supporters. Motion City Soundtrack first forged a friendship with fun., or more specifically frontman Nate Ruess, when he toured with Motion City Soundtrack back in 2006 with former band The Format.

To celebrate the kick-off of their 2010 tour season, fun. has just released the single, “At Least I’m Not as Sad (As I Used To Be),” as a 7” vinyl that also includes a clear CD, all wrapped up in some extra snazzy packaging. Fans can grab their copy at the live shows or HERE.
