Review and Gallery by Ally Arens

Alternative pop-rockers OK Go are currently in the midst of another US tour, this time in support of their latest (Grammy-nominated!) album, April’s And The Adjacent Possible, marking the band’s first album in over a decade. To commemorate the occasion, the band headed out on the road armed with a dynamite support act in the L.A. Exes, beautifully positive energy, and what I would only imagine to be hundreds of pounds of confetti, based on how much was released during one show. I genuinely cannot recall ever seeing as much confetti set off in one night as I did last Sunday when the And The Adjacent Possible Tour stopped at Oklahoma City’s historic Tower Theatre for a truly memorable night.

Opening up the show was L.A. Exes, an indie, all-female quartet who brought a welcome spark of queer energy to the purple blip of OKC that is stuck in the middle of an overwhelmingly red state. Highlights of their heartfelt-yet-danceable set included “Skinny Dipping,” “Beach Goth,” I Don’t Want To Be Poly,” and a beautiful cover of The Cranberries’ “Linger.”

Right around 9:15, the lights dropped down and the crowd full of people of all ages began to roar. Approximately 5 seconds later, the first of MANY rounds of confetti rained down as the opening notes of “This Too Shall Pass” echoed through the theatre, followed up by the groovy sass of “Get Over It”.

Throughout the show, Vocalist Damian Kulash engaged in some heartfelt banter with the crowd during multiple “Q&A” breaks, and the performances were full of emotion at all times, whether the crowd was dancing along or watching pensively during softer moments such as “Shooting the Moon” and its accompanying hand bells and when Damien went into the crowd to play “This Is How It Ends” acoustically. 

Prior to this evening and being contacted about covering this show, I will admit that my familiarity with OK Go and their music pretty much began and ended with their 2000s hit “Here It Goes Again” and its accompanying viral music video. I’d dipped my ears into their discography a bit as the show approached, but I still didn’t really know what to expect. However, it became clear to me as soon as they took the stage that OK Go is extremely passionate about their art and their fans, which translated into one of the most unique and creative live sets I’ve seen this year, possibly even ever. If you have an opportunity to catch OK Go live, do yourself a favor and take it, as you will most likely become just as in awe of their creativity as I have been.

While the And The Adjacent Possible tour is currently between legs, shows will resume on December 5 in Asheville, NC. Tickets to all upcoming performances can be found on the band’s website. And The Adjacent Possible, along with the rest of the band’s discography, can be found on all major streaming services.
