Jack's Mannequin, Fun and Vedera stopped at Sacramento State on Thursday and provided three hours of great indie rock.

1,100-plus fans were at the University Union Ballroom to catch the fifth stop on the "Sing For Your Supper" tour.

Vedera, celebrating the Feb. 2 release of its album "Stages," opened the show with a 20-minute set that showcased the vocal strength of lead singer Kristen May. May's performance was easily the highlight of the set, with the band adding lush piano and guitar pop arrangements that were simultaneously intimate and energetic.

Fun was up next, and it lived up to the name. The band's unconventional arrangements incorporated trumpets, keyboards and a xylophone, along with the standard drums and guitars. Fun got the crowd jumping and singing with its sound that's like Abba mixed with Queen at a carnival.

Fun's set was about forty minutes and featured many songs from its recent album "Aim and Ignite."

After a set change, Jack's Mannequin took the stage.

It was obvious from the crowd's cheering that the piano-rock band was the main reason people showed up. Everybody sang along as the band opened with "I'm Ready." Frontman Andrew McMahon was full of energy, often standing up and playing the piano with one hand and belting into the mic with the other.

The stage was McMahon's playground, as he ran around and jumped off everything from the drums to his piano. The band performed popular songs such as "The Mixed Tape," "The Resolution" and "Bruised" in addition to lesser-known songs "Last Straw" and "Miss California." Jack's Mannequin even played a surprisingly good cover of U2's "New Year's Day."

The audience cheered after every song and got really loud after McMahon announced that an album would be released this year.

After about one hour of solid piano-driven rock, the band played its most popular song, "Dark Blue," before walking off the stage. The crowd did not stop cheering, bringing Jack's Mannequin back for a three-song encore, starting with a piano-only version of "Swim" and ending with the eight-minute-long "Made For Each Other."

Jack's Mannequin, Fun and Vedera gave the audience its money's worth, a fun night for everyone.
