See, that's what those in the know call They Might Be Giants, TMBG. And a big chunk of what makes TMBG so much fun IS the feeling of being "in the know." People who love 'em love every jot and tittle, and they'll sing every syllable loud and clear. It's one of the most fun shows you'll ever see.
And guess what? You can see it. On us.

“After 30 years, They Might Be Giants retain the virtues that have endeared them to everyone from indie-favoring hipsters to the preschool set… ”
– USA Today ***
“Their wit keeps maturing, but TMBG's gentle weirdness is forever young.”
– SPIN
“Every song teems with surprisingly memorable choruses, melodies, and, well, quirks that prove hard to forget”
– LA Times
“As nerd culture and popular culture have become virtually indistinguishable, TMBG is nobody's secret; for proof, ask just about any kid.”
– NPR
