One the best bands in the world is playing 2 shows in the area (DC and Baltimore) in April.

The band goes by the name They Might Be Giants.

I'm planning on going to one of the shows (leaning more towards the 930club/DC show). I know there are a couple other people in the club that would be interested...

April 26th: the 9:30 club in DC
April 27th: Sonar in Baltimore

 

I didn't know they were still together and playing. i hadn't heard them since I was in high school! Long time.

 

Grr... been waiting for them to start touring again. But, they're playing here during my first week down in Florida. And, of course, the tour doesn't go near Pensacola.

-Paul!

 

Wow surprised that they are still around....oh yeah Poison will be celebrating 20 years together....I am getting old!

 

Holy crap that's two days before my 41st birfday.. I must go see They Might Be Giants! :-)

 

My friend in Knoxville alerted me that they will be in that town the weekend after the Dragon. So if you can stretch it...

 

This might surprise you - given my age - But I'm a big fan..get their email newsletter. I just can't stand for that long at the 9:30 club and they don't serve pain killers. Does Sonar have seating?

Matt - call me - my number is on Mark M worker site

 

How are their live shows? I've only heard a couple of their more mainstream songs... I did buy a CD once upon a time ago, but never really got into it.

 

TMBG live shows are a lot of fun! Seen them live probably 1/2 dozen times and they show is always high energy and fun.

 

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks



(sorry, I'm gonna leave now)

 

Who the F are they ??? they never came down to Oz I dont think.... but I always like to see things live so I will take a chance..... count me in too

They might be Dr. Spock's backup band....

 

Actually, they do serve painkillers. It's called 'whiskey'!

As for seating, I don't think so. Nearly all TMBG shows are standing room only. However, at the 9:30, they do have some bar stools at the front of the balcony level. Don't know how comfortable that would be for 1 1/2 hours though. (And, now that I think about it, the area isn't always open...)

-Paul!

 

So who all is going to this tomorrow night?
Because I was lazy I'm just going to have to get my ticket at the door.

 

"The Statue got me highhhh....the statue got me highhhh...
The monumental granite sent a beam ino my eyeeeee
The statue made me dieee...the statue made me dieee
It took my head it killed me and it turned me to the sky

The stone had called to meeee
and now I see the things the stone had shown to me.."

 

I dont' think I'm even going to end up going tonight. I'm just not feeling up to it. Been feeling really drained recently.

 

Tabloid footprints in your hair
Tabloid footprints everywhere
We can't be silent cuz THEY might be GIants
And what are we gonna do unless they aaaaaare...

 

woo! just found out that they might be giants are playing tulip fest for FREE here in albany may 13. will definitely be attending!

 

...somewhere in the distance I hear a whisper of... "$22... $22..."
