Ok Go

OK Go is an innovative American rock band that has captivated audiences with their unique blend of alternative rock and power pop since their formation in 1998. Originally from Chicago and now based in Los Angeles, the band consists of Damian Kulash, Tim Nordwind, Dan Konopka, and Andy Ross. Their self-titled debut album, released in 2002, showcased their energetic sound and led to significant recognition, particularly with the hit single “Get Over It,” which became a staple in various video games and solidified their presence in the music industry.

The band’s creativity extends beyond their music, as they are renowned for their visually stunning and intricately choreographed music videos. The video for “Here It Goes Again” won a Grammy Award for Best Music Video in 2007, exemplifying their ability to merge music with innovative visual storytelling. Their commitment to producing engaging content continued with the viral success of “This Too Shall Pass,” featuring a massive Rube Goldberg machine, which garnered millions of views and showcased their DIY ethos in a post-major label world.

In 2010, OK Go took a bold step by forming their independent label, Paracadute, allowing them to maintain creative control over their work. This move led to the release of their critically acclaimed albums, including “Of the Blue Colour of the Sky” and “Hungry Ghosts,” which further established their reputation for pushing artistic boundaries. Their collaboration with brands like State Farm and Chevrolet has also demonstrated their ability to blend music with innovative marketing strategies.

Most recently, OK Go has continued to evolve, releasing new music and engaging with fans through various platforms. Their dedication to creativity and social causes, including charity work and advocacy for net neutrality, highlights their commitment to making a positive impact beyond music. With a new album on the horizon, OK Go remains a pioneering force in the music industry, inspiring both fans and fellow artists alike.
