OK Go
Band Chicago United States Formed 1998
OK Go formed in 1998 in Chicago, United States. OK Go has 119 chart appearances on 72 radio countdowns from 35 stations on RockLists, spanning 2002–2025. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Here It Goes Again”, which appears on 29 lists with a best position of #2. The station that charted OK Go most often is CD101 (Columbus, OH), with 40 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2006.
OK Go started in Chicago in 1998, with Damian Kulash singing and playing guitar, Tim Nordwind on bass, Dan Konopka on drums and Andy Duncan on guitar, and their self-titled debut in 2002 was a crisp, sugar-rushed power-pop record with "Get Over It" leading the charge. By then they had moved to Los Angeles, and in 2005 Duncan left and Andy Ross came in on guitar and keyboards.
Oh No arrived the same year, all jittery riffs and big choruses, and that's where the band found its second instrument: the camera. The video for "Here It Goes Again", with the four of them dancing on moving treadmills, won the Grammy for Best Music Video and set the template for everything after: elaborately choreographed clips, often shot in a single long take and built out of practical effects and optical illusions.
Of the Blue Colour of the Sky followed in 2010 with "This Too Shall Pass" and "White Knuckles", and Hungry Ghosts in 2014 with "The Writing's On The Wall" and "I Won't Let You Down". That same year the band collected an MTV Video Music Award for Best Visual Effects, proof that the gimmick had become an art form of its own.
