OK Go Headlines Left Coast Live 2010

LCL 2010 Headliner: OK Go

We are thrilled to announce that OK Go! will headline the main stage at Left Coast Live 2010 on June 25, 2010.

OK Go’s story starts with Damian Kulash (vocals, guitar) and Tim Nordwind (bass) who met as children when they formed a band called The Greased Ferrets that featured folding chairs played as drums. They met Dan Konopka (drums) in college, and formed OK Go in 1999. Andy Ross (guitar, keys) joined the band making this famous foursome complete in 2005.

Since then, OK Go has become the pioneer of the viral video, one of the most licensed bands of the 21st century and a top iTunes seller. OK Go is at the cutting edge of music while constantly pushing boundaries, and fans have responded to the OK Go music movement around the world, best demonstrated through the video dance to “A Million Ways,” that hundreds of amateur foursomes have imitated via YouTube.

In addition, OK Go has stacked up serious accolades in the world of music including four singles in iTunes Alternative Top 100; more than 700,000 videos sold, an EMI record; 2007 Grammy award (Best Video); 2007 YouTube Video award (Most Creative); 4+ million copies sold of the video “Here It Goes Again” which was also the #1 single and video on iTunes.

Recently the band has released an essay in the best-selling collection “Things I’ve Learned From Women Who Dumped Me,” op-eds in the New York Times and Huffington Post, testified before Congress and played in the Senate chambers. Most importantly, the band has continued to write and produce great music.

Left Coast Live welcomes OK Go to the 2010 festival where they will take the main stage and do what it is they do best: perform.
