OK Go

Since their inception, OK Go has been something more than a band and something different from an art project. With a career that includes award-winning videos, New York Times op-eds, collaborations with pioneering dance companies, tech giants, NASA, animators and Muppets, and an experiment that encoded their music on actual strands of DNA, OK Go continues to fearlessly dream and build new worlds in a time when creative boundaries have all but dissolved.

Formed as a quartet in Chicago in 1998 and relocated to Los Angeles three years later, OK Go (Damian Kulash, Timothy Nordwind, Dan Konopka, Andy Ross) have spent their career in a steady state of transformation and continue to add to a curriculum vitae filled with experimentation in a variety of mediums. OK Go’s work is in the permanent collection of MoMA, and their achievements have been recognized with twenty-one Cannes Lions, twelve CLIOs, three VMAs, two Webbys, The Smithsonian Ingenuity Award, and a Grammy.

Their latest video for “A Stone Only Rolls Downhill” is out now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOEULOSVNK4

With special guest: L.A. Exes

Lock up your daughters, L.A. Exes has arrived. The refreshingly clever queer trio blends sixties sonics with a modern edge to bring you good vibes for dark times. Though their lyrics are chock full of vulnerability and biting wit, the Exes always bring the party. Opening track “Skinny Dipping” and “Temporary Goodbye” hang intricate Beatles-eque harmonies on a frame of jangly surf pop, while the more contemplative “West Keys” and “I Got Half a Mind” find the band negotiating the fine line between “I miss you” and “I hope you die.” This is the queer, female supergroup you didn’t know you needed. Get ready, ladies, they’re about to turn you.
