Ookla the Mok is Fandom's Own Rock Band.  They've been playing at Science Fiction and Comic Book Conventions all over North America since 1994.  Their clever, media-savvy lyrics, catchy melodies and accessible power-pop sound have made them a cult sensation with nerds everywhere.

Ookla also does music for TV and movies.  They wrote and performed the theme song to the ABC-TV Saturday morning cartoon Disney's Fillmore!,  the score and soundtrack to the feature film Bite Me, Fanboy!, and had a song featured in the short film Because You Demanded It!

LESS THAN ART HAS ENTERED THE BUILDING!

So last night many many boxes of Less Than Art CDs arrived in Ookland. They are available at CDBaby.

March 28, 2007

LESS THAN ART IS COMING!!!!! That's right. After being out of print for years, Ookla's debut album makes a triumphant return. And it's not just the old album thrown out there for those of you who missed it the first time. Oh no. This is a full-on ten-year anniversary edition. We're talking one vintage and two newly recorded bonus tracks. And hey, anyone can remaster. But we went the extra mile, and remixed the entire project. If you have heard the original mix, you will not believe how much better it sounds. If, however, you have never heard Less Than Art before, we swear it has always sounded this fantastic.

The CD will be available soon. In the meantime, check out sample tracks at our Myspace Page.

Also, Cupid's Chokehold continues to climb the charts -- currently the number four song on the Billboard Hot 100 if you can stand it.

Have you heard the huge hit single "Cupid's Chokehold" by Gym Class Heroes? That's Adam playing keyboards and Rand singing, "Ba da da dop."

Holy Crappus!!! Ookla spends the entire month of February having every aspect of their amazing lives filmed for a feature-length documentary (or should that be Mokumentary) shot by Tom Hanks!!!!!!

Okay, they're only being filmed for five days.

And it's mostly about the music, you know -- filming rehearsals "let it be" style, peeking in on them in the studio, filming a concert at Mohawk Place, etc.

And the documentay isn't solely about Ookla.

And it's not being shot by Tom Hanks. Or Tom Cruise. Or Tom Arnold for that matter. One of their brothers is on the documentary team, though.

Lucky kids of all ages were able to attain a limited edition CD of kid-friendly Ookla favorites at this show. (made from 100% recycled material!) So where were you? Huh? Now your only opportunity to own this rare piece of Ookla history is to track it down on eBay and buy it for dozens of dollars! OK, fine, quit crying, we'll sell you one, just e-mail Rand.
