OkGo @ The Parish 10/20

Ok Go is an American alternative rock band that originally formed in Chicago, Illinois. They now reside in Los Angeles, California. The band is composed of Damian Kulash (lead vocals, guitar), Tim Nordwind (bass guitar, vocals), Dan Konopka (drums, percussion), and Andy Ross (guitar, keyboard, vocals).

Ok Go is known for their often elaborate and quirky music videos, like “Here It Goes Again.” The bands music video won Grammy Award for Best Music Video in 2007. Their single “The Writing’s on the Wall” was released in 2014. Kulash explained to the Rolling Stone that they wanted to continue making quirky videos in follow up of their success with “Here It Goes Again.” In fear of being a one hit wonder, Kulash stated, “We could go in two directions: We could either try to out-cool it – try to out-run it like Radiohead did with ‘Creep’ – or just embrace it and go, OK, what really worked here.”

Ok Go announced their fourth studio album, Hungry Ghosts, will be released this October. The album was made available for pre-order on the platform, PledgeMusic. The first single, “The Writings On The Wall” was released this june, along with a music video that reached over one million views within one day.
