The Format Biography
The Format are scheduled to perform at Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, North Carolina, on. The Arizona-born indie rock duo of Nate Ruess and Sam Means became known for melodic songwriting, bright arrangements, and a sound that draws on pop, rock, and folk influences. Their best-known releases include the albums Interventions and Lullabies and Dog Problems, with songs such as “The First Single” and “The Compromise” helping establish their following.
The duo's history includes a long break after their early-2000s run and a later return to performing. Their reunion brought longtime listeners back to the songs that defined the band's catalog, while introducing The Format to newer audiences. No specific past performance dates at Cat's Cradle are provided, so venue-specific history for the group cannot be confirmed.
