They Might Be Giants and The Guggenheim Grotto at First Avenue
Never underestimate the power of Johns Flansburgh and Linnell. As the perennial geek-rock favorites They Might Be Giants, the duo has been poking at polka-punk, accordion jams, and nerdy pop nuggets for more than 20 years. Though the group’s 120 Minutes-era prime is long gone, Linnell and Flansburgh have kept more than busy in the past few years, cranking out new albums both for children (Here Come The ABCs, Here Come The 123s) and regular folks, including The Else, a 2007 album co-produced by The Dust Brothers. Then, of course, there are classics like “Put Your Hand Inside The Puppet Head” and “Ana Ng,” among many more. Here, they will perform their classic album Flood in its entirety.
