OK Go - comprising Damian Kulash, Tim Nordwind, Dan Konopka and Andy Ross - is the band whose inventive internet campaigns and self-directed music videos have set records and won the band a GRAMMY®. They announced last spring the formation of Paracadute. Paracadute and OK Go will oversee the distribution and promotion functions for the band and have planned an extensive promotional campaign for OK Go's latest album, Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky, which was released in January. Just as the band saw an opportunity to do something different with their homemade videos, OK Go see untapped potential in the sea change that the music industry is experiencing and believe there are tremendous opportunities for artists capable of managing their own promotion and distribution.

Their videos have garnered millions of views and "This Too Shall Pass" is currently climbing at radio, where it was just added by Atlanta's WNNX (99x) and Denver's KTCL. It's already become the fourth most played song by the band at radio and its third single to debut on the U.S. Alternative chart, after "Here It Goes Again" and "Get Over It." The band made two videos for "This Too Shall Pass" - a live version filmed with 130 members of the Notre Dame marching band and a second clip, which was shot inside a Rube Goldberg machine created by OK Go and Syyn Labs engineers. "This Too Shall Pass (Rube Golberg Machine)" is now a part of the archive of the Department of Film at MoMA.  CNN said it "may be the most mesmerizing music video of the year" while the Boston Herald noted: "No word on the follow up. But it will take a collaboration between James Cameron, Stephen Hawking and "Doc" Brown of "Back to the Future" fame for OK Go to top itself once more."
