tmbgportraitbwAlt-rock band They Might Be Giants will be playing two free shows at the SoHo and Boylston Street Apple Stores in New York and Boston, respectively. TMBG is promoting its new album Join Us [iTunes], due out July 19th.

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.


The song above, "Can't Keep Johnny Down", is from TMBG's upcoming album, Join Us.

They Might Be Giants has been around for nearly 30 years, releasing more than a dozen albums. Their most famous work is "Boss of Me", the theme song to Malcolm in the Middle, for which they won a Grammy. The group also recorded "Dog on Fire", the theme song to The Daily Show.

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!
