With a hit song ironically titled, "The House Wins," the band OK Go met with Nebraska Rep. Lee Terry on Thursday morning in Washington to thank him for his efforts to keep low-power FM radio stations alive.

The band, which is known largely for their music video featuring themselves dancing on treadmills, gained their popularity when they broke away from their record label and released their second album on their own using the Internet.

"We released a bunch of stuff without our record company's permission, but after it became a success, they turned around and told us we had the best Internet campaign they've ever seen," vocalist Damian Kulash said.

Three of the four group members -- Tim Nordwind, Andy Ross, and Kulash -- sat down with Terry to discuss his views on low-power FM stations, which are 10 to 100 watt, nonprofit radio stations with broadcasts that can only reach listeners within a couple of miles of the broadcast equipment.

On June 21, Terry, Pennsylvania Rep. Mike Doyle, Arizona Sen. John McCain and Washington Sen. Maria Cantwell introduced the Local Community Radio Act. If passed, the bill would open the dial to low-power stations, and allow smaller communities to keep their stations locally owned and operated. These radio stations typically feature news and information that is ignored by mainstream radio, including: town hall meetings, high school football games and agriculture reports.

"We don't own a radio station, but we do want to be on them," Kulash said. "This issue is very important." The band also autographed a CD for Terry’s son who introduced his dad to OK Go's dance moves and music. "My son will think that I'm so cool for this," Terry told the Washington Notebook.
