Ookla the Mok, an unconventional and whimsically named band, takes pride in its niche as purveyors of geek rock, appealing to listeners who enjoy a fusion of pop culture references, comedy, and a diverse array of musical influences. Formed in the early 1990s, the band's moniker is a nod to the "Thundarr the Barbarian" character, which sets the tone for their quirky and eccentric approach to music. The duo at the core of this collective, Rand Bellavia and Adam English, have been the driving force behind crafting tunes that resonate with fans of science fiction, fantasy, and comic books, seamlessly weaving these themes into their lyrics and onstage personas.

Over the years, Ookla the Mok has released several albums that have solidified their status in the filk (a blend of folk music and science fiction/fantasy themes) and nerd rock scenes. Albums like "Super Secret" reveal their ability not just to entertain with witty words and catchy melodies but also to flirt with a deeper introspection that is often hidden beneath a playful exterior. Live performances, such as the one captured in "Live at Windycon," exude the energy and engagement that have endeared them to a dedicated fan base. With other works like "Vs. Evil," "Nerdvana," and "Less Than Art," the group has shown a consistent ability to evolve, ensuring that their sound remains fresh while continuing to celebrate the geek culture that they and their fans cherish so dearly.
