Ok Go sells out famed DC venue

By Amy Willard

Although music video sensation band, Ok Go, is based out of Illinois, for lead singer Damian Kulash Washington DC is what he calls "home." Recalling stories of when he too was a fan in the crowd at the 9:30 Club (although it had another location then), the 90 minute set also featured plenty of F-bombs from Kulash (despite having already made a shout out to his parents in the balcony), and confetti-- lots of confetti (perhaps ironically colored red, white, and blue, just for the occasion).

The sold-out crowd packed the floor and the balcony as OK Go catered to fans, family, and friends, both new and old with popular titles "Here It Goes Again," "This Too Shall Pass," and old school favorite, "Get Over It."

Much to our dismay there weren't any treadmills or crazy science lab machines, featured on stage, however there was an entire song played by all members on bells (to which a "shut the f*ck up" had to be yelled in order to ready the anxious crowd), and a Kulash solo for "Back From Kathmandu" played from the center of the floor-- that's right, smack dab in the middle of the floor.

If you haven't had a chance to see Ok Go live, you're certainly missing out on authentic, modern day alternative rock show. But fear not, since the band recently parted ways with their label to simply "do it [themselves]" they have USB drives for sale featuring live recording from their spring tour on their website.

9:30 Club, Washington DC
photos by Amy Willard

In a room reeking of beer and Boston Redsox attire, the spirit of American-celtic punk rock returned to the 9:30 Club, prepping Washington DC for St. Patrick's Day. Opening to the sound of live bagpipes, the band took to the stage, and awaited the arrival of lead singer, Al Barr, who immediately leaped to the barricade to kick off the hour long set. The evening featured "Last Letter Home," and the ever popular "Shipping Up to Boston," which many will recognize as the theme to the major motion picture, The Departed.

Kentucky based American rockers, Cage the Elephant took over Washington D. C.'s famed 9:30 Club on Thursday February 25. Lead singer Matt Shultz took the stage and immediately jumped to the barricade to get the crowd moving with "Dr. Dr. Dr." The night included radio favorites "Back Against the Wall" and "Ain't No Rest For the Wicked." Check out some of the images from the performance below:
