PICK OF THE WEEK: They Might Be Giants – Thursday, September 20th – The Boulder Theater, Boulder, CO

Why You Should Go: They Might Be Giants are quite simply one of the most unique and consistently entertaining bands playing today. They have been going strong for more than 20 years and though they shot to popularity in the early 90’s with the success of their album Flood, their recent album The Else contains all of the spark and genius that they showcased for the first time all those years ago.

In the live setting, “The John’s” (Flansburg and Linnell) play the role of stand-up comics and story tellers almost as well as they play their instruments. They’ll keep you in stitches for the whole show while they keep your feet moving with their incredibly witting brand of darkly humorous songs about “Your Racist Friend,” “The Shadow Government,” “James K. Polk,” or perhaps the “Bee of The Bird of the Moth.”

They’ve been around for years and while I’m quite sure they’re still going strong, their shows in Colorado are few and far between. So if you’re even a little intrigued by The Giants or Geek Rock in general, do your self a favor pony up for the show.
