Biography
OK Go didn't find an audience until 2005, when the band began creating homemade
music videos to support its combination of off-kilter guitars,
Pixies/Cars fetishism, and straightforward power pop sensibilities.
Recognizing the growing popularity of websites like YouTube, the group
shot a campy dance video for "A Million Ways," a song from its sophomore album,
Oh No. It quickly became the most downloaded music video in history, and OK Go
won a Grammy Award for their follow-up subsequent video -- this one featuring t
he bandmates dancing on treadmills -- while continuing to produce clever, melodic
pop music.
Continuing a career that includes viral videos, New York Times op-eds, a major label
split and the establishment of a DIY trans-media mini- empire,
collaborations with pioneering dance companies and tech giants,
animators and Muppets, OK Go continue to fearlessly dream and
build new worlds in a time when creative boundaries have all but dissolved.
