CONCERTS: OK Go

In this category of A Perfect Playlist, I’ll share my experiences at recent concerts I’ve attended, and a little bit of information about the artist I went to see!

OK Go

Unique music paired with some wacky music videos–that’s OK Go, an alternative rock band that formed in 1998 in Chicago. I went to see this amazing band perform at a small acoustic venue on Sunday, and I was so intrigued by their sound. Xylophones, guitars, drums and the style of their voices put together keep you interested through out all of their songs, and even a little bit memorized.

Being in such a small venue, I was able to experience OK Go’s incredible music up close, which was great. When the band was interviewed during the show, they talked about how along with their music being popular, they’ve also had a lot of success with their homemade music videos. Check out their latest music video, The Writing’s On The Wall–it’s super trippy and will leave you in awe!

Since their formation, many of these videos OK Go have put together have gone viral–including one of their first videos, Here It Goes Again, released in 2006. They performed this song when I saw them, and it instantly became one of my favorites. The song I loved most that they performed, though, was This Too Shall Pass. Check out the crazy music video for it here!

If you get an opportunity to see OK Go in concert, it’s definitely worth it!
