The alternative rockers of OK Go will bring their power pop sounds to the Tavern on April 27 in the last Student Union Board concert of the semester.
Admission is free for students and each student may bring one guest.
OK Go may be the only band more known for its music videos than for its actual music. Although many enjoy their upbeat, indie rock, its most famous for its intricately choreographed, low-budget music videos.
At the height of its popularity in 2006, the band released their most popular video for their song "Here It Goes Again." The Grammy-winning video, which went viral and became one of the most viewed music videos on Youtube, features the band members doing an intricate dance involving six treadmills.
The band's last album, 2010's "Of the Blue Colour of the Sky," was released on the band's own record label after the band parted ways with their former label EMI. Though "Of the Blue Colour" didn't reach the kind of viral success of their previous album "Oh No," the dancier sound fared fairly well with critics.
The two videos for "This Too Shall Pass," the lead single on "Of the Blue Colour of the Sky," won several UK Music Video Awards and an award at the 2010 LA Film Fest.
