They Might Be Giants - KIngs Theatre December 13, 2024

My point is - If two guys came to your house to install cable, it would be John Flansburgh and John Linnell from They Might Be Giants. But they know how to write and play music. If they came to my house, I’d want to talk about the effects of Postmodernism on the Brooklyn arts community during the 1980s. Then we’d laugh at how much I think John Linnell sounds like Phil Ochs. Lastly, I’d tell them that their backing band was fantastic.

I’ve been listening to TMBGs since the Village Voice days. They are a favorite band of my dear friend Tracey. They launched an entire generation of undergraduate songwriters, finding inspiration in their salt and pepper shakers and assorted cutlery.

The Kings Theatre is a great place to see a show. I do wish, however, that their bathrooms were on the main floor.

Here, have some photos…
