Even now, when I try and think of band names just randomly, Im so thankful that fun. is the name of the band. I never really think twice about it. It is so simple and so easy. – Nate Ruess
I was in a really crummy pop-punk band. I think we did a whole bunch of Blink-182 covers, and we were on the fringe of losers and jocks. So we invited all the cool kids to come watch us play in our bass players brothers bedroom. And it was terrible, but everyone thought we were so cool. – Nate Ruess
