Info on Artist: The band Ok Go was formed in 1998 by the lead singer, Damian Kulash and bassist Tim Nordwind. The band's speciality is alternative rock, although they also perform power pop from time to time. The alternative rock song which we're doing, "This Too Shall Pass", was released in January 2010. It involves two music videos - the first, the 'Marching Band' video, was not the album version of the song and the 'Rube Goldberg Machine' video, which was considered to be the original version. We feel the uniqueness of these videos really matches their respective songs. The first consists of making music out of simple, everyday objects, which are placed in a certain order and calculated precisely so that the movement of one object will have an impact on the movement of another. This is what makes this a production line of sounds, which match those of the instruments the band use for the actual song. The second, however, does the same thing, although it replaces objects with people, who are required to play their respective instruments at the right time. What really caught our attention apart from the originality of the group was the fact that both of the videos from "This Too Shall Pass" have absolutely no cuts. This demonstrates that the group are very dedicated and must have had loads of practise to get everything right and on time in a single, long shot.
