"Known for their iconic and deeply intricate music videos, the band's claim to fame might be making some of the first truly viral YouTube videos (remember Here It Goes Again?). Their work is in the permanent collection at MoMA, they performed at Barack Obama's 50th birthday, they've appeared on The Simpsons, and they've hosted a Ted Talk, among many other things."
"I'm terrible at brevity, but I'll give it a shot, says Damian Kulash, director and frontman of Grammy-winning rock band OK Go, when I ask him about his background. The band just released its fifth studio album, And the Adjacent Possible, back in April, first premiering their single and its subsequent music video on The Kelly Clarkson Show to critical acclaim. The video is comprised of 64 different videos using 64 different iPhones in yet another astounding feat of creativity and technical prowess."
Kulash grew up in Washington, D.C., during an especially vibrant early-1990s punk scene that produced seminal bands and inclusive live shows. Early experiences at Fugazi and Shudder to Think concerts fueled his desire to play music. He attended Brown University to pursue visual art but increasingly gravitated toward music, then moved to Chicago for its rock scene. OK Go became known for iconic, intricately staged music videos, earning viral YouTube success, inclusion in MoMA’s permanent collection, performances at high-profile events, and mainstream media appearances. The band released its fifth studio album, And the Adjacent Possible, featuring a single with a music video composed of 64 iPhones.
