LOS ANGELES (AP) — Rock band OK Go knows how to make a red-carpet statement: Take inspiration from upholstery.

The foursome wore matching burgundy-and-gold paisley suits topped with burqa-like face-covering headpieces as they arrived at the Grammys on Sunday.

"It was inspired by our couch," said lead singer Damian Kulash. "It's upholstery material. It's inside-out, though. It's slightly less gaudy on the other side."

The band will wear the suits in their new video, Kulash said. On Sunday, they won a Grammy for their short-form video, "Here It Goes Again," which they made for less than $5,000 and posted on YouTube.

"The fact that we could make a video for one-one-thousandth of the budget of a major label video and now to win a Grammy ... it kind of makes you feel good about the world."
