Jack Antonoff, the talented singer/songwriter and guitarist found fame with pop group Fun and is credited as a co-writer of one of the band's most successful singles 'We Are Young'. He has also written music for pop heavyweights including Taylor Swift and Christina Perri. Whilst on the road with Fun, Antonoff found an outlet for his creative urges whilst travelling from city to city in Bleachers. His side project remained unknown until February 2014 when he released the single 'I Wanna Get Better'.
It received moderate chart success due to the singer's credibilities and notoriety as an artist formerly associated with Fun. Critics enjoyed the shimmering layer of pop gloss that had been applied to this release and the album 'Strange Desire' which came in the summer continued to accumulate accolades. It was released through RCA records and was met with chart success, debuting at #11 on the US Billboard Charts and #19 on the Canadian album charts.
The guitarist has been touring the US tirelessly throughout 2014 to promote the album's release, including at stop off at Austin City Limits. Despite the success and time that Antonoff has invested into this project, he has made it clear this is not a departure from Fun and he still remains committed to the band.
I've been to a number of concerts before, but that was honestly one of the best I've ever been to. With such a small venue, we were three people from the front and the up close experience was amazing. Royal Tongues was fantastic(!), the first time I've ever truly loved an opening act. The looong wait between the two bands was a bit rough, but it paid off with the show that Bleachers put on. For only 99 cents a ticket, this must have been one of the greatest concert values in history for what we got. With such an electric environment,I am so pumped to get back to Higher Ground for the Odesza concert in March!
