Kicking off last night to an ecstatic reception, the hotly anticipated They Might Be Giants tour will bring with it an unmissable opportunity on a select few dates – the chance to see seminal album Flood performed live and in its entirety!
Also by popular demand, TMBG are excited to announce the release of additional tickets for their May 2 and May 3 shows at the Corner Hotel, Melbourne. To coincide with all this excitement from TMBG, Breakaway Recordings is also set to re-release the long unavailable debut, ‘They Might Be Giants’ and sophomore album ‘Lincoln’ with a slew of bonus tracks!
For many, Flood is TMBG’s most celebrated album, featuring “Particle Man”, “Istanbul (Not Constantinople)”, “Twisting”, “Whistling In The Dark”, “Racist Friend”, and possibly the most loved They Might Be Giants track of all time “Birdhouse In Your Soul”.
This is a rare opportunity for TMBG fans to see the classic album performed live from start to finish, on three very special dates – April 25 at Upstairs Beresford, Sydney, May 3 at the Corner Hotel, Melbourne, and May 7 at The Zoo, Brisbane. With such an extraordinary opportunity at hand, and with additional tickets being released for the Corner Hotel show, this is a spectacle that no TMBG fan should miss!
If that wasn’t enough for fans of TMBG, May 10 will see the re-release of the band’s first two albums, on Breakaway Recordings. The debut, They Might Be Giants, will feature 37 tracks, including the original album plus tracks from the band’s first two EPs, Don’t Let’s Start and (She Was A) Hotel Detective.
Described Stateside as “the best band you’ve never seen” get in quick for your chance to rectify that and experience the band’s explosive live show and well-renowned classic album! They Might Be Giants, but they are a lay down misère to sell out!
