From Wikipedia .com:
OK Go are a Grammy-nominated rock band from Chicago and Washington DC, best known for their singles "Get Over It", "A Million Ways", and "Here It Goes Again." They are also well known for their geek rock outfits which include waistcoats, sweater vests, ties, shirts and smart trousers such as khakis, office trousers or chinos which they use when performing in reminiscence of bands such as Weezer, They Might Be Giants and hellogoodbye. Influenced by artists like Cheap Trick, Raspberries, Fugazi, T. Rex and Queen, OK Go shares management with They Might Be Giants, another band with whom they toured before signing to Capitol Records.
However, outside of their fanbase, they are best known for the extremely popular music video for "Here It Goes Again", featuring the band performing dances on eight side-by-side treadmills. MTV had rejected the idea for a music video for the song, so instead, the band improvised a video using eight treadmills from the local gymnasium free of charge. The music video was done in one take and was uploaded to YouTube, where it has received well over ten million views.
The band also served as the house band for public radio program This American Life on the show's fifth anniversary tour. Ira Glass, the show's host, wrote their first official bio, calling them "living catnip" and describing their songs as "part indie rock, part stadium rock, part straight up pop with the occasional whiff of Weezer or The Cars or Elliott Smith."

OK Go is one of my favorites!
They are famous for their hit video Here It Goes Again [where the dance on treadmills], but that isn't the only song/vid. that is really good by them! Check out "You're So Damn Hot", "A Million Ways", & "Get Over It"
They have two albums btw, - Oh No & a self-titled one. iTunes has all their music.

no longer that it consists of a lot weight on the form front, i be attentive to mechanics that use them. If the practicality outweighs the layout then its cool. I even have considered a stressful form of youthful adult males donning them now. regularly around the coastline. So it definately seems there is particularly of a revival happening. An in case you keep them for long sufficient you be attentive to they're going to be lower back for gals to.
