OK GO – First Avenue – Minneapolis MN – July 11th 2024

OK GO FIrst Avenue Minneapolis MN

Presented by First Avenue

Chicago’s OK Go announced four shows back on  April, 15th of this year. Luckily, they chose Minneapolis to rock with. Four states in four consecutive days is beyond commendable. They simply exceeded my expectations.

Not only did they begin the evening with incredible energy, but so did their openers Winona Forever and MIRTHQUAKE.

These sharp dressed men remind me vaguely of combination between Weezer and The Fratellis, with their hummable melodies and nostalgic lyrics. It was truly an enjoyable show. When they performed “Get Over It” is really when the crowd came alive. It’s one of those songs where it’s easy to sing along to, even when it’s your first time hearing it.

They ended with two encores. The lively crowd couldn’t get enough of these guys. They are as quirky as they are in their music videos which makes them even more likable and in a way, relatable.

There was no void in the audience. Not a song met with a silent response. I do believe if these men were given more notoriety, they could be selling out stadiums left and right. They could be as big as Weezer one day. They are so engaging and really draw out your inner “child at a candy store” energy.
