Alright you know these guys, I've definitely featured them and their insanely detailed and crazy music videos before. These guys are an American rock band active since 1198 and currently made up of Damian Kulash, Tim Nordwind, Dan Konopka, and Andy Ross with one past member named Andy Duncan. The band name actually comes from an inside joke between Kulash and Nordwind from an art camp they both attended. After meeting Duncan in high school, he and Nordwind went to college where they formed a band with Konopka called Stanley's Joyful Noise. It was after college that the four grouped up as OK Go. They marketed themselves like crazy, and made two EP's released in 2000 and 2001. They were signed in 2001 and released their debut album in 2002, followed by a lot of performances before their next album in 2005. After it was recorded Duncan left the group, being replaced by Ross. Their careers blew up then with that new album, leading to lots of touring before they released an EP in 2008 which was to fund musicians displaced by Hurricane Katrina. They had written and began showcasing their next album material through 2009 before it was released in 2010, followed by the creation of their own label. Since then they've done a live album, some releases of rare songs, and another studio album in 2014. They've been releasing other singles since, including one done during the pandemic, but as a group haven't been focusing on album releases. At least they're still around though. Check out their music videos if you haven't yet, it's one of the coolest things that sets them apart from some other artists. 

Peace.
