OK Go is a power pop punk band consisting of vocalist/guitarist Damian Kulash, guitarist Andrew Duncan, bassist Tim Nordwind, and drummer Dan Konopka. They just released their latest album, Oh No, produced by Tore Johansson who has worked with Franz Ferdinand and The Cardigans.
I saw these guys open a show for They Might Be Giants a number of years back. They put on a great show and left a good impression with me, so much that I signed for the newsletter they had (ping pong tournaments anyone?), something I'd really never do unless I really wanted to hear more. Yeah, I actually remember their part of the show better than TMBG's.
I have the first but haven't checked out the new album yet. By the way they describe it, they've gained my interest. Perhaps I'll have to treat myself next weekend.
I saw these guys opening for The Donnas at the Granada in Lawrence, Kansas (because no good music comes to Manhattan, Ks) in February of 2003 they rocked! I signed up for their newsletter after the show and they were pretty awesome the guys just kind of hung out with the people after the show and mingled pretty well it was awesome. I have the first album but need to get this new one, strapped for cash though so yeah.
