OK GO IN CONCERT:
Not many indie rock bands are as irresistibly charming as OK Go. They create truly infectious, sunny alt pop songs and perform them with loads of charisma and quirky playfulness in concert. With confetti cannons exploding at any given time and Andy Warhol-inspired visuals surrounding the stage, this is a band that relishes the art of performance and transforms shows into interactive experiences. One impressive trick they're known for is prompting the crowd to make certain noises, recording the audio, and then playing it back in a song. Masterminding the spectacle is frontman Damian Kulash, who exudes magnetic personality and gives every performance a casual, friendly atmosphere. For a band that's famous for imaginative, eye-grabbing videos, OK Go's live shows prove they're even more captivating in person.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
OK Go formed in Chicago in 1998 and relocated to Los Angeles three years later. After their first pair of EPs captured booking agent Frank Riley's attention, they scored a touring gig alongside fellow indie rockers They Might Be Giants. In 2001 they inked a deal with Capitol Records and released their self-titled debut album, which reached No. 1 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. Following the release of their sophomore album, 2005's Oh No, the band established a reputation for high-concept, low-budget, one-take music videos. The video for their hit single "Here It Goes Again" -- which features the quartet performing an elaborate treadmill dance routine -- became a viral hit and earned them a Grammy for Best Short Form Music Video in 2007. After successful tours opening and co-headlining with indie acts including Snow Patrol, Death Cab for Cutie, Kaiser Chiefs, and Silversun Pickups, they released their third album, 2010's Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky. In 2011 the band cut ties with Capitol and formed the independent imprint Paracadute, making their debut on the new label with the live album 180/365. The band’s fourth studio album, Hungry Ghosts, was released in 2014 and featured a more synth-heavy, electronic-influenced sound.
Just got out of their show at Niagara Falls, which was their first live show in about 5 years. It was a total blast, and was absolutely worth flying across the country to see. Lots of energy, lots of fun, and very engaged with the audience. They just seem like cool dudes, and it felt so good to sing along with them in person. Will definitely jump at the opportunity to see them live again in the future.
Such a unique and fun concert! It was so much fun to go to an early show with all the children there. The band was awesome in the way they played along to their videos. They were so funny and charming on the Q&A with the audience. The duck/goose discussion was hilarious. Great venue.
OK Go's always been one of my favorite groups -- they've gotta be the hardest working band in the biz, always pushing the creative envelope in their musical expression, and this concert delivers. You get fascinating & candid insight into their process and how they made their massively creative videos, as the videos come to life through their live performance (amazingly in-sync!), all in a concert vibe that's cool, intimate and flat out fun! We were even treated to an unexpectedly close-up performance when Damian Kulash strolled up the aisle and performed a soulful rendition of "Last Leaf" just a couple feet away. Definitely my most creatively-inspiring concert experience! Cheers
A great and unique concert by OK GO; only request is that the sound volume was not so high as I had to plug my ears with my fingers to lower the volume.
Amazing in every way! Love this band. This show is a must see! Thank you OK Go!
This was a great show. The band and their videos were amazing!
The Soraya is a hidden gem in the valley, an absolutely stunning theater with incredible acoustics and an intimate feeling. OK Go brought it with an interactive show that was part rock concert, part audience participation, all fun for all ages.
Venue was great. Band was AMAZING! Best concert I've been to in a long time. Interactive, fun, great music and great musicians!
Excellent concert and venue. They are a great band. My 13 daughter really enjoyed the question and answer sessions and the explanation of the videos
Decade long fan of OKGo here. I flew out from from OK to CA for this showing and I was not disappointed. The show was unlike any other concert experience I’ve had. The show ran so smoothly when transitioning between songs, Q&As and interactive songs. They kept the show very laidback and intriguing at the same time. It was such an intimate concert experience! They performed very well live and I hope to get to see them again.
