Booking OK Go

OK Go Biography

The alternative rock band OK Go was originally formed in Chicago, when childhood friends Tim Nordwind and Damian Kulash met at an arts camp one summer. After years of sharing their musical knowledge and interests with each other, they formed OK Go in the late 1990’s and began performing around the local Chicago area before self-releasing the EPs Brown and Pink. After garnering the attention of a booking agent, they began opening for They Might Be Giants, leading to a number of offers for record deals.

OK Go settled on a deal with Capitol Records and released their self-titled debut in 2002. The album reached into the Billboard 200 and spawned the single “Get Over It,” which performed very well in Europe but still did not garner OK Go the attention they were hoping for in the United States. The band followed up with the album Oh No in 2004, and in part due to the strength of the single “A Million Ways,” the album performed better than its predecessor, leading to an extensive tour alongside such notable performers and bands as Snow Patrol and Death Cab for Cutie.

OK Go is just getting started. Their most recently release is the album Of the Blue Colour of the Sky (2010.) With the current lineup of Kulash, Nordwind, Dan Konopka, and Andy Ross, OK Go has plans for their next album and upcoming tours in the near future.
