They Might Be Giants: Independent Music for Independent People
They Might Be Giants is an original band from Brooklyn, New York founded by John Flansburgh and John Linnell. TMBG writes, records and tours continuously, has been involved in numerous television and film projects, and has an on-going podcast that is free. They have won two Grammys. The Johns are frequently joined by Dan Miller on guitar, Danny Weinkauf on bass, and Marty Beller on drums.
In 2011 They Might Be Giants released two new albums. “Join Us” enjoyed critical and popular acclaim, and the rarities collection “Album Raises New and Troubling Questions” left many confused. For the complete TMBG discography, visit their newly redesigned Music page.
This year They Might Be Giants are celebrating their 30th anniversary as a band. Yes, it is their pearl anniversary, and they are actively wondering what practical things are made of pearl.
They Might Be Giants are also hard at work on their next set of releases, an iphone app and other secret enterprises all due to arrive late in the year and in early 2013.
