New EP Feb 2! Special shows in New Orleans 1/11 & DC 2/2

You´re Not Alone

OK Go spent the 2nd anniversary of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans recording with the trombone soul monsters Bonerama, and soon the world will hear the insanely swaggering result: A benefit EP called You´re Not Alone that comes out Fat Tuesday of Mardi Gras with this tracklist:

Rock 'N' Roll Suicide (the Bowie tune)
A Million Ways
Oh Lately It's So Quiet
It's a Disaster
I Shall Be Released (the Dylan Tune, with "Carnival Time" Johnson on vocals)

The EP will be available only on iTunes, and 100%--every last penny-- of the proceeds will go toward rebuilding the New Orleans music community, which was devastated by Katrina. Awesomely, iTunes agreed to donate their share as did IODA, who helped us digitize and promote it. Money goes to Sweet Home New Orleans,  an incredible organization, and also to build a new home for New Orleans R&B legend and amazing person Al "Carnival Time" Johnson, who lost everything in the storm and post-storm floods.

The band believes so strongly in this cause that they donated weeks of time and effort and resources that would otherwise have gone to making a new album or teaching Tim to talk to girls. Why bring this up? To convince you to buy the thing. It´s worth your money, all of which will go to helping out talented people in very real need. Do us, them and yourselves a favor and buy a copy.

SHOWS IN NOLA AND DC

OK Go & Bonerama are playing two benefit shows to celebrate the release. Buy a ticket to either and you´ll get a free download of You're Not Alone as a gift from OK Go. The first show is this Friday. Get on it! Buy plane tickets! Help build a house while you´re there!

Jan 11 -- New Orleans, LA – Tipitina's
Feb 2   -- Washington, DC – 9:30 Club

Again, every cent raised goes straight to the cause. If you can't make a show, you can still prove your awesomeness by donating to Sweet Home New Orleans right now.

Finally: Huge thanks to Music Travel Management, Horizon Entertainment Cargo, Sennheiser USA, and Gibson, who all made generous donations so these shows could happen.

Just Released: OK Go - Live In Soho

Is anything more wondrous than New York City on a Tuesday? Short answer: No. And the newly released OK Go - Live From SoHo proves it. The boys played an acoustic set at the Apple Store in SoHo on March 27th, and it's just been released on iTunes. The set includes live versions of Here It Goes Again, What To Do, A Million Ways, Do What You Want and a cover of ELO's Don't Bring Me Down all for just $4.49 as a regular download, and a few bucks more as a DRM-free superradiated iTunes Plus MP3. A worthy pickup in all formats. You can't afford not to buy it now.
