OK Go announces Spring tour new album deets

Grammy-winning rock band OK Go will preview songs from its upcoming album on a bi-coastal headlining tour launching March 6th in Philadelphia, with Irish indie band Oppenheimer & Longwave opening the East Coast dates, IO Echo & Jaguar Love opening the West Coast dates. OK Go has spent the winter holed up in an upstate New York barn-turned-studio with producer Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips, MGMT, Sleater-Kinney), handcrafting what they describe as the "danciest, most anthemic, most heartbroken, and most honest songs" of their career. The band is chronicling the process with an offbeat series of videos on their site .

The upcoming album, due out late summer on Capitol, follows up 2005's hit-filled Oh No , which rocketed the band to international fame with major shows on five continents & a series of low-budget homemade videos including "A Million Ways" and "Here It Goes Again" (the treadmill video) that have been viewed hundreds of millions of times & set all sorts of records.

Their emergence from the studio also sees OK Go play a fictional wedding band in the upcoming Dreamworks film I Love You, Man set for release on March 20th & will also be featured in Banana Republic's "City Stories" spring/summer print & web campaign.
