OK Go Get A Musical Assist From A Chevy In Their “Needing/Getting” Video
Mon Feb 6 2012 by Becky Bain
For their incredible video for "Needing/Getting", OK Go have initiated a new member into the band — a Chevy Sonic. The infinitely creative foursome — still rockin' those primary colors! — teamed up with Chevrolet for their newest clip, which features over 1,000 instruments (288 guitars, 55 pianos, and 1,157 homemade instruments) set up over two miles of desert outside Los Angeles. And who (or should we say, what) is playing all those instruments? The Chevy, of course! Be amazed below. More »
OK Go Appear In Chevy Sonic’s Super Bowl Commercial (But Their Music Doesn’t)
Wed Feb 1 2012 by Becky Bain
It's may be a bit confusing why OK Go agreed to appear in a Chevy Sonic Super Bowl commercial without one of their own songs playing in the ad — the track featured in the below commercial (with a Chevy Sonic performing "100% real stunts"!) is .fun's "We Are Young". But it makes more sense when you consider that most of the band's footage comes from their upcoming video for "Needing/Getting", which also features a Chevy Sonic. And we've officially said the words Chevy Sonic three (now four!) times in this single post, not even including in the headline. Well done, marketing geniuses at Chevrolet. More »
OK Go Made A Music Video For ‘Sesame Street’: Watch!
Mon Jan 30 2012 by Becky Bain
Sesame Street is clearly trying to give Yo Gabba Gabba! a run for its money as the PBS children's show continues to cast well-known music acts to perform on the show. The latest musical guest to appear on the Street is viral video masters OK Go, who wrote a song called "3 Primary Colors Song" to teach kids about all the different shades you can create with red, yellow and blue. And in the tradition of their own videos, the boys in the band used choreography, camera tricks and stop motion to get their message across. Watch below. More »
B.o.B And Other Artists Rally To Stop SOPA And PIPA
Wed Jan 18 2012 by Becky Bain
If you tried to visit a number of websites today and were unable to view their content, don't be alarmed: it's due to the protest of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA) bills, which were created to stop online piracy and protect copyright owners, but could allow the government to censor practically anything on the Internet. You'd think musicians would be all for protecting their music from piracy, but artists, such as B.o.B, Kreashawyn, OK Go and more, have made it clear that this bill, if passed, will do more harm than good.

Tue Aug 23 2011 by Becky Bain
OK Go poke fun of their previous viral videos in their new clip for "The Muppet Show Theme Song", their contribution to The Green Album (out today!).

Hear OK Go, Weezer And Hayley Williams Pay Homage To The Muppets
Tue Aug 16 2011 by Erika Brooks Adickman
It's time to play the music — of the Muppets cover compilation The Green Album, that is. As we've previously mentioned, the most sensational, inspirational, celebrational, Muppetational LP won't be hitting stores until next Tuesday August 23. However, you can preview every track, including OK Go's "Muppet Show Theme" and the "Rainbow Connection" collaboration from Weezer and Hayley Williams, over at NPR. While we're sure Statler and Waldorf will hate this album, we're loving these reworkings of infamous Muppet tunes.

Like usual, our brains hurt trying to figure out how OK Go pulled off their latest music video achievement.

Prepare to be wowed and amazing once again by another OK Go video after the jump. More »

OK Go Lead A GPS Parade Around Los Angeles
Mon Dec 13 2010 by Becky Bain
