History

The band's singer, Damian Kulash, met bassist Tim Nordwind at Interlochen Arts Camp when they were 11. Damian was in for graphic design, Tim for music. They met over a game of Ping Pong in which Damian won. The band name comes from their art teacher, a stoner, saying "Ok...Go!" while they were drawing. They kept in touch after camp, often exchanging mixtapes which influenced each other's musical taste and their future sound. They met the band's original lead guitarist and keyboardist, Andy Duncan, in high school, and drummer Dan Konopka in college. They formed OK Go in 1998. Andy Duncan left the band in 2005 after they had recorded their second album, and was replaced by computer-programming whiz Andy Ross, who auditioned for them in Chicago.

OK Go has gained significant recognition for its self-produced low-budget music videos, most significantly "Here It Goes Again", which features the band performing an intricately choreographed dance on eight treadmills. Having had some viral success with the unauthorized "A Million Ways" video, showing them dancing in a backyard, the band devised a video using rented treadmills.[1] Damian's sister choreographed the routines in both the "Here It Goes Again" and "A Million Ways" videos.

Music video fame

The band performs the music video for "Here it Goes Again" on treadmills.

The band's second album, Oh No, was recorded in Malmö, Sweden and produced by Tore Johansson (The Cardigans, Franz Ferdinand) in the fall of 2004. Released in August 2005, it gained popularity for its first single, "A Million Ways," thanks to its video, which proved to be a viral Internet phenomenon in the fall of 2005. The ultra-low budget, long take video featured the band in their back yard performing a dance choreographed by lead singer Kulash's sister, Trish Sie. Using a camera borrowed from a friend, the video was produced for under ten dollars, and was apparently released without the knowledge or consent of their label, Capitol Records. By August 2006, the video had become the most downloaded music video ever with over 9 million downloads.[5] The band performed the dance live on British TV show Soccer AM.
