OK Go
OK Go is an American alternative rock band originally from Chicago, Illinois, now based in Los Angeles, California. The band is composed of Damian Kulash (lead vocals, guitar), Tim Nordwind (bass guitar and vocals), Dan Konopka (drums and percussion) and Andy Ross (guitar, keyboards and vocals), who joined them in 2005, replacing Andy Duncan. They are known for their often quirky and elaborate one-take music videos.
The original members formed as OK Go in 1998 and released two studio albums before Duncan's departure. The band's video for "Here It Goes Again" won a Grammy Award for Best Music Video in 2007.
History
Formation and early years (1998–2000)
The band's lead singer, Damian Kulash, met bassist Tim Nordwind at Interlochen Arts Camp when they were 11. Kulash was in for graphic design, Nordwind for music. The band name comes from their art teacher saying, "OK... Go!" while they were drawing. They kept in touch after camp, often exchanging mixtapes which influenced each other's musical taste and their future sound. They met the band's former guitarist and keyboardist Andy Duncan in high school. Nordwind and Duncan moved to Chicago for college, where they formed the band Stanley's Joyful Noise with drummer Dan Konopka. The name OK Go was adopted in 1998, when Kulash moved to Chicago to join the band.
OK Go (2000 EP)
OK Go or The Brown EP (officially known as OKGoCD.001) is the first EP released by OK Go in 2000.
Both "Bye Bye Baby" and "We Dug a Hole" were previously recorded by the band for a demo disc ("We Dug a Hole" was then titled "Fuzz"). The track "Bye Bye Baby" would later be re-recorded and released on the band's first album in 2002 and "It's Tough to Have a Crush" would become a B-side to the "Don't Ask Me" single from that album.

No Sign Of Life
by: OK GoI's locked out on the fire escape. Sarah's still down on the bench at the Circle K, crying and crying all day.
Everybody's best attempts didn't do no good. No sign of life.
But I got a hunch... its not over yet.
Kate broke down on Division Street. Air so wet you can hear your heart beat, and beat and beat and beat and beat.
Oh, I swear I gave it my best shot, what else could I do? No sign of life.
I's locked out on the fire escape. Sarah's still down on the bench at the Circle K, crying and crying all day.
Everybody's best attempts didn't do no good. No sign of life.
