The SoHo show will be July 20 at 7pm, and the Boylston Street show will be the next day, July 21, at 8pm. The band advises fans to get a wristband from the stores the day before to ensure they get a seat.

A see a pattern here:

First off, let me mention that I am also not a TMBG fan (and by 'fan' I mean I don't have any of their songs/CD's in my music collection); but how can you guys not mention (my favourite TMBG song when I was in high school) "Don't Let's Start". That was such a cool song and such a cool video.

Err, just re-read the thread and read Michael383's post.

Here in the UK they are best known for "Birdhouse in your Soul" :)

Birdhouse In Your Soul (//www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAbZzdalZh4)

Def one of the best alt-pop songs ever!
