Ok Go were playing the Electric Ballroom as continued promotion for their current album ‘Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky’. I have reviewed them previously for GigJunkie, but this time I was just there as a fan, and I still came away totally enamoured. A lot of people would think of them as a bit of a gimmicky band, what with their low-budget viral videos and penchant for confetti and furry laser-covered guitars, but they pull it off with such a great enthusiasm that it’s hard to not enjoy it. It was pretty much the same set I saw before, with a large amount of the songs taken from the new album and a smattering of old fan favourites, but it was still a joy to watch. ‘This Too Shall Pass’ got a great reception due to the fantastic video that has been doing the rounds on youtube with the crowd helping Damian out on vocal duties, while ‘Last Leaf’ saw him head out into the crowd with his acoustic guitar.

I highly recommend that everyone sees Ok Go at some point in their life, or at least go and check out their Youtube channel for now.
