About

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.

    Amazing show

    by C. on 5/20/19Kalamazoo State Theatre - Kalamazoo

    Ok Go was fantastic in every single way. The kids and adults all loved it. We love seeing the music videos & the interaction with the audience.

    Kid Friendly

    by S. M. on 5/1/19State Theatre, Kalamazoo - Kalamazoo

    It was a very different type of show, almost like an expanded version of their Ted Talk, but it WAS interesting. The format loses a bit of the live band feel, and they are so popular with kids and teachers the volume is very low which is good or bad depending on you perspective.

    Ok Go way better than ok

    by Matt W on 5/1/19State Theatre, Kalamazoo - Kalamazoo

    I have been a fan of Ok Go for a few years now so I am familiar with their songs and creative videos, but it was nice to get to know them through the interactions between songs and the tidbits of insight into their thoughts behind the ideas. They exceeded my expectations and would love to see them if they are in the area again. I have been telling everyone I know to watch all of their videos and become a fan themselves. Do yourself a favor and give them a look.

    OK Go was sensational!

    by LouRe on 4/11/18Donny & Marie Showroom at Flamingo Las Vegas - Las Vegas

    This was an intimate performance, with the feel of a one-on-one with the artists. Amazing rapport with the attendees - anyone who is a fan or just casually decided to go got basically front of the stage passes. Any closer or more open of a forum and you'd have been playing along with the band on stage. It was mentioned by the band that there may be interest in taking this kind of event on the road - that is a "no brainer" in my opinion. Just fabulous.

    Great Show!

    by NettMarie on 11/13/17Royce Hall - UCLA - Los Angeles

    This show was less a rock concert, and more a conversation with the band (at which they also play music). OK Go traced their videography from start to finish, pausing between most of the songs to take questions from the audience and share the stories behind their videos. The videos were played on the screen behind them with each song. If you appreciate their music and their videos this is a must see.

    Best band ever

    by jk10gab10 on 11/11/17Royce Hall - UCLA - Los Angeles

    Seriously, they always go above and beyond in every show they do, and this one was no different. Ok Go pulled out all of the stops with dances, hand bells, and apps so you can play along with the vocals. They answered questions and invited kids up on stage with them. Truly the best band of our generation ❤

    All concerts should be this good!

    by Sissopolis on 11/8/17Royce Hall - UCLA - Los Angeles

    In the same way that OKGO revolutionized the music video world, they’ve done the same with concerts. This was not your traditional concert in which the audience watched a performance. This was interactive, fun, entertaining, educational, and exciting all at once. Between the confetti canons, the stories and Q&A between songs, the live dance performances, the videos accompanied by the band playing, the handbell performance, the interactive app, and the audience participation, this was a concert for everyone. My sons had the best time ever. Their favorite thing was the app one of the band members had created so the audience could play a musical instrument (their phones) along with a song. It was excellent, innovative, and so much fun. We played the app all the way home. I’m spoiled for good now....no concert will measure up, no matter how talented the performers. Way to go, OKGO...you’re always at the front.

    OK Go puts on a good show

    by Anonymous on 11/7/17Royce Hall - UCLA - Los Angeles

    They played all their hit songs along with the awesome videos they’ve created. Took time to answer questions from the audience and got the entire crowd involved in the concert. It was a fun, family friendly night. Will definitely go see them again!

    Best Show Ever

    by SROKeeffe on 11/7/17Royce Hall - UCLA - Los Angeles

    Seriously, definitely in my top five. Maybe my favorite ever. And I've been to some great shows. These guys played such a tight set, scoring their videos, and the intimate atmosphere of the venue, along with the Q&A, and the interactive portions of the show made it such an unforgettable experience. my only critique is that the confetti (while fun) made it tough to see the screen sometimes. It might have been too much.

    Colorful, Playful, and Delightful

    by DewDrop7373737373 on 9/12/17Moore Theatre - Seattle

    OKGO does a wonderful job of incorporating the audience, pulling the heart strings, sending the audience into peels of laughter, and delivering on musical performances that are as energetic as they are sincere. Would absolutely recommend to a friend and would love to see them again.

    OK Go is A-Okay!

    by Tacomahoma on 9/12/17Moore Theatre - Seattle

    This is my second time seeing them in concert. While nothing compares to firsts, this concert was still absolutely amazing. I love that they do a Q&A in between sets with the audience. Confetti galore. A must see if you're at all familiar with the band (you should be).

    by Brianwparks on 9/12/17Moore Theatre - Seattle

    Ok Go exceeds expectations

    by Jojas on 9/12/17Moore Theatre - Seattle

    I had never had the privilege of seeing Ok Go live. I've been a fan of their music for quite a few years now and finally got my opportunity. Often bands don't perform at the level they do in studio due to the ease of digital recording. You can understand that I was nervous going in. I quickly found myself relieved, Ok Go was amazing live. They played just about every song I wanted to hear and the smaller venue made it feel far more intimate. They rocked the house and left me and my friends with a very fond memory. As far as the venue, the Moore Theater, is concerned: the Moore Theater is small, yes, but it was quite enjoyable. It heightened the show experience without needing to be overdramatic in presentation, I look forward to visiting this venue as much as I can from here on out.

    Greatest concert experience ever!

    by DDVVSS on 5/7/15House of Blues San Diego - San Diego

    I recently saw OK GO in March at the Warfield in San Francisco, and I couldn't help but go see them again on the same tour at the House of Blues in San Diego. These guys really know how to put on a show. I got way more out of this concert than I paid for. The band always sounds great, they use just the right amount of confetti, and they don't fail to express their nerdy selves in front of the crowd. Before I first saw them in March, the only songs I knew by them were from their iconic music videos. But after watching them perform, I totally fell in love and actually listened to their music, which turned out to be just as amazing as their videos and concerts. I'm glad I got to experience this band, and if you want a real concert experience, I recommend seeing OK GO.

    The Show to Beat This Year Already

    by calimetal on 5/5/15House of Blues San Diego - San Diego

    So we knew OK GO would be visually stunning and musically skilled but we had no idea their show would be truly memorable. We were slightly disappointed that Kitten replaced the previously scheduled White Arrows - until she/they took the stage. The originals were good and the covers (Bowie's "Heroes" and Prince's "Purple Rain") were inspired so all in all an entertaining opener. The stage antics and flailing about were a bit much but love the energy. OK GO had by far the coolest opening sequence that I can recall - and we average 20 shows per year. The see thru screen with countless OK's and GO's uttered in various clips by all manner of pseudo-celebrity was clever, and the continuous usage of these screens throughout the show allowed for video and special effects without overshadowing the still-visible band. A less musical outfit could rest on these visual laurels but they kicked some serious live show ass. Six songs from the new record (best listened to on vinyl) and a perfect sampling of previous offerings were well-sequenced and offered a formidable song catalog. And the no visuals Led Zep cover demonstrated that this band can rock. The Q and A sessions were classic and the camaraderie amongst the band creates the kind of inspired interplay that cannot be learned (Kongos recent show had a similar vibe between the brothers) and elevates the show above most others. Oh yeah, the confetti cannons were a nice addition. Great show and awesome sound - doesn't get any better than this...

    A M A Z I N G!!

    by Jessica3Rabbit on 5/5/15House of Blues San Diego - San Diego

    OK GO has got to be one of the most energetic bands on stage I have seen in a while. I am a hard core concert veteran. I have seen about a billion shows and this one is on the top of the memorable list. They put on a great performance. Not just a music concert. I took my Boyfriend who is an avid country music fan (I have been trying to turn him) and caught him totally jamming out. Loved the theatrics. They have a vibe that just does not stop. They get the audience motivated and involved and make everyone feel loved!! Kitten.... was okay. They played well but I thought the girl on stage was going to have a melt down. She looked like a tasmanian devil on crack. I was taking bets on how long it would take her to whap her head off of something on stage. She even jumped off of the speakers and showed the crowd her boobs. WAY too high for stage. Or speed. or whatever makes you act like that.

    OK Go!!!!

    by GSkarp on 5/5/15The Wiltern - Los Angeles

    Even if you don't know the songs, the show is incredible. I would catch them anytime they are in town!
