Retro Music Snob News: Q&A With Ok Go's Damian Kulash.

SF Chronicle and LHB Report:

OK Go was just another flailing Chicago power-pop band until a homemade video for its track "Here It Goes Again" appeared on YouTube. The one-shot promo from its second album, "Oh No," features the foursome performing an awesome workout routine across eight moving treadmills and, like its similarly synchronized video for "A Million Ways," which was filmed in lead singer Damian Kulash's backyard, became one of the most downloaded clips in Internet history, with more than 10 million views. The Grammy-nominated band plays with Snow Patrol on March 1 at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. We spoke with Kulash.

Q: So do you think you're going to have to haul around eight treadmills with you for the rest of your life?
A: No. The treadmills don't travel. There's no way we could ever do that onstage in the state of sobriety that is required.

Q: But the treadmills are almost more famous than the band.
A: I promise we will entertain. There are just certain things you just can't repeat. For one thing, they're prohibitively huge. It would take two trucks to carry those f -- around.
