Bridget Stiebris and Haley Blomquist grew up towns apart, in Downers Grove and Elk Grove Village, respectively, but it would take a move to the city to begin college and a little Facebook intervention to bring the two twentysomethings together and eventually form the Chicago indie rock duo OK Cool.
“I went to Columbia College and Bridget went to DePaul, but I found her on Facebook. I was looking for a drummer, and it was an all-girl group, so that was very specific to try and maintain that. That’s what helped me find her,” recalls Blomquist.
