OK Go brought their famously quirky energy to Levitt Pavilion<\/a> in Denver, and it felt like the perfect venue for a band that has spent their whole career turning creativity into a superpower. The moment they stepped onstage, the crowd was instantly transported back through years of eye-popping music videos that helped define OK Go\u2019s place in indie pop culture. Denver fans have seen them here before in various venues, but this show felt especially joyful \u2013 almost like a reunion with old friends who always bring confetti. LOTS and LOTS of confetti.<\/p>\n The show was local station Indie 102.3<\/a>\u2018s annual \u201cIndieverse\u201d concert, so not only were the whole radio station crew there \u2013 two local bands services as openers: Dead Pioneers and Pink Fuzz.<\/p>\n Dead Pioneers<\/a> is a Denver punk band led by artist and musician Gregg Deal, formed when one of his performance-art projects grew into a full musical collaboration during the pandemic. Their sound blends high-energy punk with spoken-word intensity, giving their songs a sharp edge and a personal point of view \u2013 especially give Deal\u2019s Native American heritage. On a personal note, I\u2019ve known bandmate Abe Brennan for the better part of two decades through his various bands and family connections. Always fun to photograph friends.<\/p>\n Pink Fuzz<\/a> is a high-energy rock trio from Denver made up of siblings John and LuLu Demitro alongside drummer Forrest Raup. They originally came together in the late 2010s, building their sound around heavy riffs, tight harmonies and a grungy-psych edge that feels both vintage and fresh. Over the years they\u2019ve carved out a strong presence in the Denver scene, known for shows that swing from slow-burn grooves to full-throttle fuzz explosions.<\/p>\n Both these bands were maybe a little hard rock to accompany an indie pop band like OK Go\u2026 but that\u2019s the thing about alternative rock. Who cares?!<\/p>\n When I interviewed Tim Nordwind<\/a> of OK Go earlier this year, he warned me about the confetti. He was not joking.<\/em> Lead singer Damian Kulash leaned out into the crowd many times as the confetti cannons boomed \u2013 check out the photos below \u2013 it was mayhem. The band played both their classics and songs from 2025\u2019s And the Adjacent Possible<\/em>, reminding everyone that OK Go has always been more than their viral videos. Live, they\u2019re tight and surprisingly loud \u2013 the kind of band that sounds bigger than you expect when your brain still associates them with carefully choreographed stunts.<\/p>\n Levitt Pavilion\u2019s open lawn gave everyone space to spread out blankets, chase kids, and still feel close to the action. We even got an double rainbow after a few minutes of rain. When the band launched into their biggest hits, the crowd volume doubled, proving that OK Go\u2019s catalog has aged well. By the time the final notes rang out over Ruby Hill, people were smiling like they had just watched something both familiar and delightfully surprising. OK Go left Denver with a night that was playful, heartfelt, and a little bit weird \u2013 exactly what fans were hoping for.<\/p>\n See other posts from Levitt Pavilion Denver<\/a>!<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\nPhotos displayed in random order.
