Matthew debuts as the new front man for OKNOTOK
The Radiohead you love . . . LIVE! OK NOT OK is Portland Oregon's tribute to Radiohead. They want Radiohead fans to be able to experience the songs they love live in small clubs and to feel the overwhelming sonic experience that is Radiohead.
Before they were a Radiohead tribute band they got together in 2019 to challenge themselves musically by playing their favorite album live from start to finish: Radiohead's iconic "OK Computer." They played one fabulous show, decided to be a full-time Radiohead tribute band, and then took over a year off for the pandemic. Over the past couple of years they've focused on playing their Radiohead favourites, fan favourites, deep cuts and have been selling-out every one of their shows since 2023!
