OK Go news

[Bags]

So, Black Cat has OK Go on their schedule for Sat., Feb 7.
 
 I'm, of course, out of town.  Will be in NY, so *hoping* they'll be there on Friday....but there's nothing in Pollstar or on the OK Go website (which looks a month or more out of date).
 
 Just wondering if anyone here has news or knows where to get it.

A number of board members are going to laugh at you for liking this band. But don't be deterred, sometimes that's a compliment.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

You might want to go on the corporate lawyer chatboard and ask their dad what the schedule is.

[Bags]

I will not be deterred, Rhett.  Whatever it is they're supposed to be, I came to them unbiased and I really enjoy the two albums I have.
 
 God knows they're no worse than Bright Eyes, which I think is the worst band I've heard in ages, but has more indie cred.  I just don't give a frig.

[redsock]

Having heard OK Go live before, I can't think of a much more unsatisfying thing to do than go see them again.
 
 That being said, I saw Bright Eyes too, and much much prefer his CD's over his live sound. They both kinda suck live. There, happy?

[Bags]

Hmmm, yeah, happy.  I'd still like to give OK a try....I won't break my back trying to do so, but what the hey.  And maybe I'll find a hot 23 year old to mack on!  

[broadkat]

okay, bags, god knows i loves you, but comparing ok go to bright eyes and saying the latter sucks more is just a testament to ... skewed taste. bwa ha ha ha.  i bought ok go's album, listened to it, threw up, burnt it, and then never thought of it again until now.

[Bags]

Yeah, I don't know why I brought up Bright Eyes, except that I heard a couple songs last night and I think it is so wretched.  But in answer to Rhett, they seemed like an example of an indie cred band that I just don't get (but don't disparage -- I don't get it, but also don't care if OK Go aren't all creded out....I like 'em).
 
 Don't know how you could throw up...but, it's what makes the world go 'round.

hmmm, I have seen Bright Eyes 3 times, 2 of them were pretty bad, but the show before last at 9:30 club was one of the best shows I have ever seen by anybody

Vomiting makes the world go round?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

i aint got no indie cred either.
 
 i'm sitting here playing that great new band, Fountains of Wayne.
 
 go ahead and vomit and make the world go around.

[Bags]

FoW is the bomb.  I'll take 'indie loser' any day if I get to listen to FoW....

it is amusing to me that the people who talk about cred are primarily the people who claim not to have cred, I wonder how many people there actually are who pick up a cd and wonder to themselves if it has enough cred

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Probably only those who could be instant hires at Pitchfork.
