OK Go to rock 10,000 Hours Show in April

02-21-2008 | Music

The popular Chicago-based band OK Go will headline this year’s 10,000 Hours Show of Eastern Iowa, UI officials announced today.

The concert to celebrate volunteerism, also know as 10K, will take place at the Englert Theatre in downtown Iowa City on April 22. Doors will open at 7 and the opening act, Iowa City’s Diplomats of Solid Sound, will play at 7:30.

OK Go is known for songs including 2002’s “Get Over It” and the later “A Million Ways,” as well as their recent video hit “Here It Goes Again,” which earned the group a Grammy Award for “Best Short-Form Music Video” in 2007.

The 10,000 Hours Show, a project now in its fifth year, is a year-round effort to engage young people in volunteer service that culminates in a free concert for which the only admission is 10 or more volunteer hours with local nonprofits.

The show is produced through a partnership between the UI and the United Way of Johnson County. For more information see 10K's web site.
