Great Good Fine OK (abbreviated GGFO) is an American synthpop band formed in New York City, United States, who relocated to Los Angeles in 2022.[1] The band was founded by Jon Sandler and Luke Moellman in 2013.[2] Although both grew up in Upstate New York (Sandler in Niskayuna and Moellman in Saratoga Springs), they met while living near each other in Brooklyn, NY.[3] In 2013, the duo released the song "You're the One for Me." Its online popularity led to the song reaching number one on Hype Machine twice in one month.[4] After their first seven shows at SXSW in the spring of 2013, the band signed with Neon Gold/Epic Records and Transgressive Records/Warner/Chappell Music publishing.[5]
