Quirky, Catchy Tunes

Everybody knows about OK Go, at the very least they know them as "those guys that did the video on the treadmills." But what many people don't know about OK Go is that there is more to them than just quirky music videos. OK Go is actually a group of very talented musicians and capable of writing very catchy tunes. Also they are actually capable of making a somewhat normal music video that actually features them playing instruments (although there are a lot of explosions in the video):



Another thing about OK Go that makes them so great is that they know how to put on one heck of a live show. We're talking monochromatic suits (similar to these but more formal), confetti cannons, jackets with LEDs, furry guitars, lasers, and even handbells.

As far as OK Go's sound goes, they started out as a pretty much straight up rock band. But with their latest album they have added a more electronicy sound to many of their songs while still remaining a alternative/indie rock band.

Favorite tracks:
-Needing/Getting
-Invincible
-Get Over It
