PICK OF THE WEEK: They Might Be Giants – Thursday, November 3rd – The Boulder Theater

Why You Should Go: They Might Be Giants both recall and reinvent pop songwriting; they’re in a league with modern masters like Elvis Costello, Sparks and XTC, echoes of whom you can hear on their brand new record Join Us. As John Flansburgh notes, “We’re rock people — we grew up in this hypnotizing moment when there was nothing more persuasive than popular song. It was so good, it stole the minds of an entire generation.

At The Boulder Theater TMBG will perform their platinum-selling album Flood in its entirety followed by a full set of TMBG hits new & old. Spirits will be high as the band celebrates the release of Join Us and their 30th year of uninterrupted rocking. As always, They Might Be Giants’ boundless energy and arresting melodies will engage all.
