Ok Go歌手简介:
98年秋天成军的OK Go，阵中三位成员吉他手Andrew Duncan、贝斯手Tim Nordwind与鼓手Dan Konopka其实早已组成Stanley’s Joyful Noise乐团开始活动，最后才加入由华盛顿DC移居至芝加哥的主唱Damian Kulash底定编制并正式更名。短短几个月的时间内，OK Go便在尚未有任何专辑问世的情况下得到传媒的高度瞩目，这完全要归功于该团密集的演出(包括为Elliott Smith等暖场)以及活力十足的现场台风；甚至不仅National Public Radio名主持人Ira Glass与Gretchen Helfrich对他们青睐有加，就连传奇独立乐团They Might Be Giants鬼才主脑John Flansburgh也看上该团潜力而出任经纪人。独立发表两首单曲后，OK Go于2001年四月签入主流大厂Capitol旗下，并在一年多后祭出这张团名处男大碟OK Go。
The Chicago band OK Go combined off-kilter guitars, Pixies/Cars fetishism, and straightforward power pop sensibilities to produce eccentric, catchy songs. Consisting of vocalist/guitarist Damian Kulash, guitarist Andrew Duncan, bassist Tim Nordwind, and drummer Dan Konopka, OK Go formed in the fall of 1998. Prior to Kulash moving to Chicago from Washington, D.C., the other three members of OK Go had been members of the Chicago band Stanley's Joyful Noise. After just a few months, OK Go garnered considerable media attention in Chicago without having recorded a single full-length album, their success attributed partly to an exuberant live show and opening spots for heavyweights like Elliott Smith and the Promise Ring. They released two three-song CD singles to tide fans over until a full-length could be recorded, and also served as the sort-of house band for a touring version of the NPR show This American Life. OK Go eventually signed with Capitol and issued an eponymous debut in September 2002, scoring the modern rock radio hit "Get Over It." When the combo returned in August 2005 with Oh No, it was without guitarist Duncan, who'd left after sessions for the album had ended. His replacement was Andy Ross. Ingenious creativity helped the guys push their second album by making a couple of low-budget music videos that became hits thanks to their simple yet memorable premises. The video for "A Million Ways" featured the guys showing off their best synchronized dance moves in the backyard, spawning countless fan tributes online, while the popular "Here It Goes Again" included nothing but OK Go boogying down to the song on multiple treadmills.
