==History==
In February 2008, Nate Ruess's former band the Format split up. Immediately afterwards, Nate Ruess asked Andrew Dost and Jack Antonoff to join his new project. Dost had toured with the Format and provided various instrumentation, and Ruess met Antonoff after the Format toured with Steel Train. http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=467591 The three began working together in New Jersey within a week. Ruess sang melodies while the other two provided music for them. https://web.archive.org/web/20100505083735/http://www.ournameisfun.com/about The first demo song the band recorded was "'Benson Hedges", which was made available free in Spins August 20, 2008 article on the band. http://spin.com/articles/members-format-steel-train-anathallo-unite-fun In November 2008, fun embarked on their first tour opening for Jack's Mannequin. Their first show was played in Denver, Colorado on November 5, 2008. A couple of early demos and covers from other bands were performed. Fun then approached Steven McDonald, who produced the Format's album Dog Problems with Ruess, to produce their debut album. http://www.altpress.com/news/entry/archive_4628
