The band consists of Damian Kulash guitar , vocals , Tim Nordwind bass , Andy Ross guitar , keyboards , and Dan Konopka drums . The band is best known for their singles Get Over It , A Million Ways , Here It Goes Again and This Too Shall Pass and for their high concept , low budget , oneshot music videos . They play indie rock music , with influences such as Cheap Trick , T Rex and Queen . They share management with They Might Be Giants , with whom they toured before signing to Capitol Records . They served as the house band to the public radio program This American Life on the show ' s fifth anniversary tour . Ira Glass , the show ' s host , wrote their first official bio , calling them living catnip and describing their songs as part indie rock , part stadium rock , part straight up pop with the occasional whiff of The Pixies or The Cars or Elliott Smith . In the United Kingdom , Get Over It , from their selftitled debut album , appeared at No . 21 in the singles chart on March 16 , 2003 , and the band performed it on that week ' s edition of Top of the Pops . Also that week , the single ' s video was named video of the week by Q Magazine . The single was also featured in EA Sports video games Triple Play Baseball and Madden NFL 2003 in 2002 . The band contributed a cover of This Will Be Our Year , the Zombies classic , as the lead track of Future Soundtrack for America , a political benefit album put out by Barsuk Records in the fall of 2004 . Lead singer Damian Kulash also became somewhat politically active during that election cycle , writing a heavily downloaded howtoguide entitled How Your Band Can Fire Bush for bands hoping to help unseat President George W . Bush , which garnered him an avalanche of hate mail . The band ' s second record , Oh No , was recorded in Malm , Sweden and produced by Tore Johansson The Cardigans , Franz Ferdinand in the fall of 2004 . Released in August 2005 , it gained notoriety for its first single , the Clashesque A Million Ways . Its popularity was due in large part to its video , which proved to be a viral internet sensation in the fall of 2005 . The ultralow budget , onetake video featured the band in their back yard performing a dance choreographed by lead singer Kulash ' s sister , Trish Sie . Using a camera borrowed from a friend , the video was produced for under ten dollars and released without the knowledge or consent of their label , Capitol Records . By November 2005 , the video had become the most downloaded music video ever with over 3 million downloads . It also spawned hundreds of tribute performances by amateur dancers around the world , a phenomenon that was encouraged by the group , which sponsored a dance contest , OK Go Dances with YouTube , in which contestants were asked to upload videos of themselves doing the ' million ways dance ' to YouTube , which would subsequently be judged , with the winning group of dancers to appear on stage with the band at a future OK Go performance . The nontraditional video for A Million Ways is not without precedent for the band . Previous oddball video efforts featuring OK Go include their Ping Pong Instructional Video and the Federal Truth In Music Project . Their next video featured the band dancing on treadmills to the single Here It Goes Again from the Oh No Album . This video was produced in a similar style to A Million Ways , and also choreographed by singersongwriter Damian Kulash ' s sister , Trish Sie . As with the previous music video for A Million Ways , Here It Goes Again was also recorded as one continuous unedited take , although it required 7 days of rehearsal , and was the best take 14 of 17 attempts . The amateur and yet brilliantly original ' treadmill video ' sparked an even greater viral internet phenomenon than the AMW video , and was subsequently viewed on YouTube and elsewhere online well over 15 million times . On February 11 , 2007 , the Here It Goes Again music video earned the band members of OK Go and Trish Sie the Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video . OK Go toured North America with Silversun Pickups and Snow Patrol in 2007 . Read more on Last . fm .
