[[quoteright:320:[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTAAsCNK7RA http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/okgo-hereitgoesagain_7854.jpg]]]] OK Go is an AlternativeRock[=/=]PowerPop band. The band formed in 1998, and have gone from being an also-ran in the early 2000's "Return of Rock" that also spawned TheStrokes and TheWhiteStripes, and have become internationally famous for their inventive music videos which are often complex, [[TheOner shot in one take]] and on a low budget.
