OK Go are Coming to Cleveland This Friday

OK Go is perhaps best known for their wildly popular videos, and especially their treadmills. The band's YouTube videos have millions of hits between them, and have been parodied on The Simpsons. And yes, they also make music, amongst other things. If ever the word "quirky" applied to a band, OK Go is it, and they'll be bringing their show to Cleveland on Friday at the equally cool concert club, The Grog Shop.
OK Go's frontman, Damian Kulash once said:
We're trying to be a DIY band in a post-major label world" or "Our whole bag is having good ideas and making cool s~~t."
Amongst the cool sh** they've made recently is a play, an essay in the best-selling collection Things I've Learned From Women Who Dumped Me, a record acccompanied only by trombones, and opinion pieces in the Huffington Post and New York Times. They've also testified before Congress and played music in the Senate chambers. They bought a house for soul legend Al Johnson so he could move home to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, and have a project whereby the walk the street handing out burritos to the homeless. And yep, they've even interviewed a member of N'Sync in the bathroom.
With just $5 and a camcorder, OK Go have built themselves a growing legion of fans by reaching them in a way that the big record labels just never thought of or even tied.
With all the things that OK Go does, it's easy to forget that they're also first and foremost musicians. With their latest album, Of the Blue Colour of the Sky, and their current tour, they're determined to not let us forget it. If you're itching to catch a glimpse of the fabulous foursome, head on out to the Grog Shop this coming Friday night. Tickets are just $15. And if you can't make it, our very own Candis Hecking will be at the show so check back here for her reviews and photos over the weekend.
