OK Go

Today we received this video, and it made us smile:

So now we’re going to have a quick contest and the winner gets to come hang out backstage with the band at the show in Paris on January 26th.
NOTE – If you cannot attend the show in Paris, France on January 26th, this contest probably isn’t for you.

OK. Here’s how it works:

1. Make a video that somehow relates to OK Go

2. Upload it to YouTube and tag it “okgofrancecontest”

3. The morning of the show (January 26, 2010) we’ll pick a winner and send them a message on YouTube.

4. That night you come to the show on our guestlist and get to meet the band.

Sound good? Go forth!

This letter from Damian was posted on the OK Go Message Board today…

To the people of the world, from OK Go:

This week we released a new album, and it’s our best yet. We also released a new video – the second for this record – for a song called This Too Shall Pass, and you can watch it here. We hope you’ll like it and comment on it and pass the link along to your friends and do that wonderful thing that that you do when you’re fond of something, share it. We want you to stick it on your web page, post it on your wall, and embed it everywhere you can think of.

Unfortunately, as of now you can’t embed diddlycrap. And depending on where you are in the world, you might not even be able to watch it.

We’ve been flooded with complaints recently because our YouTube videos can’t be embedded on websites, and in certain countries can’t be seen at all. And we want you to know: we hear you, and we’re sorry. We wish there was something we could do. Believe us, we want you to pass our videos around more than you do, but…

We are pleased to announce that the official video for “This Too Shall Pass” off of the New Album “Of the Blue Colour of the Sky” was released on YouTube today. The video was filmed live and features the Notre Dame marching band. Directed by Brian L. Perkins and OK Go.

The Waterfront, Norwich, UK

Perhaps you are one of the million people coming to the show at The Waterfront tonight, but ironically not yet rsvp’ing to the Facebook Event. Don’t be shy! Or maybe you are coming, but still need to get Your Tickets. And maybe you’ll get so excited when you are there that you’ll Tweet About It. And take Photos. And Videos. And generally make awesomeness with us.

Or maybe you don’t live in Norwich, UK. And you are busying yourself for one of our other 11 shows this month.

And if we aren’t coming to your town this month, well we hope you are enjoying the album and following us on Twitter and Facebook and the like…

As you may have noticed, we officially have a new website. Andy and designer Morgan Knutson made it for us and we hope you like it. It’s brand spankin’ new and we’re real excited about the possibilities, but just know that there might be some kinks as we get it up and running. Please take it for a spin and let us know what works and what doesn’t, so that we can make it divine and perfect for you in every conceivable way.
