They Might Be Giants

3rd October 2018

Barbican Centre, London, UK

35-years deep, Brooklyn’s freewheeling heroes are creating startling new music and performing shows packed with spontaneity and undeniable joy across the globe. In London they presented a brand new show, “An Evening with They Might Be Giants” featuring two big sets to a packed out Barbican centre.

Rock’s most original perpetual motion machine, They Might Be Giants have released a brand new single “The Communists Have The Music” via Lojinx. Download it for FREE and spread the word. The song is part of their upcoming album, entitled My Murdered Remains. It’s been an instant TMBG classic with the melodic hooks the band is renowned for.

This year the band also released their 20th full-length album I Like Fun to rave reviews, played 50 US cities demolishing stages to mostly sold out rooms, were nominated for a Tony award for their song “I'm Not A Loser”, and posted 20 additional songs on their Dial-A-Song service.

Grapple with Big Guys

Chased by the throat into adrenaline kick backs
I stood in front of them with my arms stretched wide open
There was just me and the big guys
and around me they drank classics for beer
