Ok Go: This Too Shall Pass
March 4th, 2010
In case you haven’t seen this amazing video yet, feast your eyes on Ok Go’s latest video for their song “This Too Shall Pass”. Check ‘em out as they interact with an amazingly complex Rube Goldberg machine.
This from a band who initially gained widespread attention by dancing on treadmills. The machine in this video took over six weeks to construct, and over 60 takes over a period of two days to wind up with this single-shot music video. You have to admire the talent and patience it took to create this.
I initially became aware of Ok Go when they toured with They Might Be Giants in support of their first (self-titled) album. It’s great to see a band stay true to their roots and in touch with their fan base.
No, I had not seen the video as yet, and it’s great fun to look at Herman – thanks for sharing
Now the real work begins. Reproducing that 3 nights a week on their summer tour. Doh!
