Great Good Fine Ok (abbreviated GGFO) is an American synthpop duo based in New York City, United States. The band was founded by Jon Sandler and Luke Moellman in 2013.[1] Although both grew up in Upstate New York (Jon in Niskayuna and Luke in Saratoga Springs), they only met when living around the corner from each other in Brooklyn, NY.[2] In 2013 the duo released the song "You're The One For Me". Its overwhelming online popularity resulted in the song reaching #1 on Hype Machine twice in one month.[3] Soon after their first seven shows at SXSW in the spring of 2013, the band signed with Neon Gold Records/Epic Records and Transgressive Records/Warner/Chappell Music publishing.[4]
Career[]
In 2013, Great Good Fine OK released a 4-song EP entitled Body Diamond which includes "You're the One for Me", "Not Going Home",[5] "By My Side", and "Say It All". In 2014, they released a second EP entitled 2M2H licensed by Ultra Music which reached #10 on the iTunes dance chart.[6] It includes "Too Much to Handle",[7] "Without You", "Carried Away", and "Something to Believe In" featuring St. Lucia, which premiered on Entertainment Weekly.[8][9]
In 2015, the DJ duo The Chainsmokers released the single "Let You Go" featuring Great Good Fine Ok, co-written and performed by GGFO which premiered in Billboard.[10] The track has been remixed by Tiesto and A-Trak.
In September 2015, the band independently released the single "Take It or Leave It" which garnered 1 million Spotify plays and 200k SoundCloud plays in one month.[citation needed] On March 1, 2016, the band released the single "Already Love" on Spotify and SoundCloud. Both singles appear on their 2017 EP, III.
In June 2017, the duo released a joint single "Find Yourself" with the sibling trio Before You Exit and performed at Bonnaroo Music Festival. In 2018 they embarked on a co-headline tour with Smallpools, and released three critically acclaimed singles "Change", "Touch" and "Easy".
