Breaking the monotony of Chicago’s predominantly “why so serious,” rock scene with their sarcastic jibes and panic-pop guitars, OK Go’s lighthearted flowery semantics didn’t go unnoticed for long. Armed with material off their self-titled debut, including radio hits like “Get Over It” and “Don’t Ask Me,” OK Go performed at Metro on September 19, 2002 for a wallet friendly $10 ticket price. The band had obviously navigated their transition from “This American Life” house band to indie pop head-of-class with ease, exercising a charming stage presence backlit by clever theatrics. Check out this Chicago Tribune feature printed less than a week before their Metro show.
