They Might Be Giants Return To The UK and Ireland in November 2024
They Might Be Giants are returning to the UK & Ireland this November 2024 with their ‘An Evening With They Might Be Giants: Flood, BOOK and Beyond’ tour.
The shows will include two sets which span early favourites to songs from their new, Grammy-nominated album ‘BOOK’. Joined by their barn-burning live band including the Tricerachops Horns, this once-in-a-lifetime show is guaranteed to delight. No opener! They Might Be Giants’ performance starts approximately one hour after doors open!
Eight of the twelve dates across the UK & Ireland have already sold out, but there’s still time for fans to grab tickets to catch the alt-rock legends at the 3rd of November Shepherds Bush Empire London date, as well shows in Southampton, Newcastle and Belfast.
They Might Be Giants also recently released a special cover of American composer Irving Berlin’s famed song “Lazy,” which debuted on WNYC as part of its Public Song Project. Led by the team at WNYC’s midday culture show All Of It, the Public Song Project invites listeners to create new music by drawing from the public domain. The 2024 edition celebrates the station’s 100th anniversary with a compilation of cover songs and adaptations of public domain works from the 1920s. Listen on WNYC here.
The accompanying single art illustrated by David Cowles was inspired by the original sheet music cover for the track, offering a vividly colorful reimagining of the piece. “Lazy” is out now across all streaming platforms and a 7-inch 45 is available from 4th October, exclusively through TMBG’s Idlewild Recordings.
VINYL MANIA
With vinyl interest in the band reaching historic new peaks last year, the band’s Idlewild Recordings imprint’s pressing program is in full swing. With more than a dozen re-issues, new albums, and vinyl-only releases, Idlewild has pressed Flood and Apollo 18 picture disks alongside loving reissues of Mink Car, Lincoln, The Spine, and most recently, the long-awaited vinyl release of Long Tall Weekend, the first digital-only release by a major artist back in August 1999 in the fledgling days of the internet. On the docket for 2024: John Henry. Expand your collection of TMBG vinyl right here.
They Might Be Giants started with a Dial-A-Song service, powered by a lone phone machine out of their Brooklyn apartments. Since then, they have made 23 albums and have secretly infiltrated your TV with original themes and incidental music to numerous shows and commercials. Fans can enjoy They Might Be Giants’ FREE Dial-A-Song smartphone app (iPhone / Android) which adds a new song every day.
