OK Go is kicking off two months worth of shows on April 13 in support of their January 2010 album “Of the Blue Colour of the Sky.”
The tour will run in the U.S. from coast-to-coast and even make it up to Canada. OK Go just returned from touring Europe in January and February, and they are better than ever. The album “Of the Blue Colour of the Sky” is their third studio album, following “OK Go” in 2002 and “Oh No” in 2005.
The album name, lyrics and concept of “Of the Blue Colour of the Sky” are based on a pseudo scientific book called “The Influence of the Blue Ray of the Sunlight and of the Blue Colour of the Sky,” which was published in 1876 by General A.J. Pleasonton.

After three straight years of touring, OK Go are back with a new album to be released in September tentatively named “The Influence of the Blue Ray of the Sunlight and of the Blue Color of the Sky.”
The album is “a more contemplative record, but also much more anthemic, much dancier. And it’s a way more emotional record than anything we’ve done. So it’s both sadder and happier in its way,” said singer Damian Kulash.
A new track called “Skyscrapers” is available on their Web site: www.okgo.net

Ok Go announced on October 12, 2008 that they had handcrafted a new batch of rock songs and were polishing them off before launching a new album. They’re recording the new album with Dave Fridman somewhere in upstate New York. Fridman has produced and recorded various works from Flaming Lips albums to MGMT’s debut, and music from Café Tacuba, Low, Sleater-Kinney, and Sparklehorse. A tentative release date has not been confirmed.

OK Go was formed in Chicago in 1998. The original band members were Damian Kulash (lead vocals), Tim Nordwind (bass guitar), Dan Konopka (percussion) and Andy Duncan (keyboard). In 2005, Andy Ross replaced Andy Duncan.
Before Duncan’s departure, they released Brown Ep and Pink Ep, both in 2000 as well as OK Go in 2002.
Perhaps their most notable song/performance is “Here It Goes Again” which won them a Grammy for the Best Short Form Music Video in 2007.
