OK Go at House of Blues<\/a> Thursday night, Nov. 6, was joyfully explosive. Supporting their album, And the Adjacent Possible, the crowd was mesmerized by the group\u2019s high-energy performance and constant confetti flying throughout the venue. <\/p>\n

L.A. Exes Opens for OK Go<\/p>\n

Queer quartet L.A. Exes started the night promptly at 8 p.m. and heeded femme and fiery energy<\/a>. The indie pop band\u2019s debut single, \u201cTemporary Goodbye,\u201d was released earlier this year. Overall, their sound blends classic, upbeat 1960s rock with heavy, emotionally heartfelt lyrics.<\/p>\n

The stage lights hit with a bang as frontman Damian Kulash and OK Go took the stage performing the opening song \u201cThis Too Shall Pass.\u201d Kulash jumped off stage, crossed the barrier and balanced on the guard rails in front of the crowd, which was unexpectedly wild. The four-piece band immediately engaged with the audience during their second song, \u201cGet Over It.\u201d The rest of the night was unforgettable since fans had waited more than a decade for a new album, and last night, OK Go delivered.<\/p>\n

Rocking out to new and old songs from the group\u2019s extensive discography spanning nearly 30 years felt like an intense reunion show. Kulash paused between a few songs, and the house lights brightened the audience for a question-and-answer session. One audience member inquired about the amount of confetti used for each show, and another asked what music Kulash had been listening to recently. The answers followed with Kulash estimating about 150 pounds of confetti bursting from above the stage for each show of the tour, and it seems Kulash is currently listening to lots of Prince\u2019s Purple Rain.<\/p>\n

\"\"Frontman Kulash jumped off stage and balanced the barrier for nearly a minute after OK Go\u2019s opening song \u201cThis Too Shall Pass.\u201d<\/p>\n

Much like OK Go\u2019s music videos, the group was inventive and unique, wearing white gloves to use handbells for their song \u201cShooting The Moon.\u201d Then, with an acoustic guitar and mic in hand, Kulash again bounced off stage and made his way into the middle of the crowd, standing on a road case for \u201cThis Is How It Ends.\u201d Toward the end of the night, an 11-year-old audience member requested OK Go\u2019s \u201cLove\u201d from their new album, followed by performances of \u201cUpside Down & Inside Out\u201d and \u201cHere It Goes Again\u201d, which was an exhilarating experience.<\/p>\n

OK Go were not done just yet, as the audience stood cheering for more, the group returned for their encore playing a cover of English rock group The La\u2019s \u201cThere She Goes Again.\u201d OK Go finished the night with \u201cA Stone Only Rolls Downhill,\u201d off their latest release and 2014 hit \u201cThe One Moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The nearly two-hour set list was 20 songs. Fans were cheerful and ecstatic, a perfect ending and a well-deserved bow from the masters of power-pop gems.<\/p>\n
