One of the world’s most original alternative rock acts THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS are heading back to Australia for an “Evening With” as they perform their breakthrough album Flood in its entirety. With 70+ sold-out shows so far in the US, and by overwhelming demand, it’s Australia’s turn this October! How will Flood be presented?
As TMBG’s John Flansburgh tells Australian Musician editor Greg Phillips, it won’t be in track order and who knows which version of the songs they will play on any given night … but a great time is guaranteed. In this recent zoom chat we discuss the Flood album, the Australian tour and the science behind beginning and ending songs on stage. He also gets a new dishwasher!
For their Australian tour, TMBG will play two full sets that span the band’s entire career from early favourites to brand new favourites from their current Grammy-nominated album BOOK, as well as the spontaneous and improvised moments that have made They Might Be Giants shows legendary. Joined by their incomparable live band, now featuring the show-stopping Tricerachops Horns, this is an evening guaranteed to delight the most dedicated TMBG fan as well as brand-new participants.
“Through it all, John and John have maintained — and explored new dimensions of — their signature experimentalist rock, which contains layers of absurdist humor, surreal imagery, and clever wordplay.” – Stereogum
“Few indie rock bands can claim the sheer breadth, longevity, and sustained creative inspiration as They Might Be Giants” – Consequence
“The band’s new record pops, beginning with the energetic opener, “Synopsis for Latecomers,” which announces the band to those who may not be familiar.” – Under The Radar
