Alt-rock band They Might Be Giants will be playing two free shows at the SoHo and Boylston Street Apple Stores in New York and Boston, respectively. TMBG is promoting its new album Join Us [iTunes], due out July 19th.

The SoHo show will be July 20 at 7pm, and the Boylston Street show will be the next day, July 21, at 8pm. The band advises fans to get a wristband from the stores the day before to ensure they get a seat.


The song above, "Can't Keep Johnny Down", is from TMBG's upcoming album, Join Us.

They Might Be Giants has been around for nearly 30 years, releasing more than a dozen albums. Their most famous work is "Boss of Me", the theme song to Malcolm in the Middle, for which they won a Grammy. The group also recorded "Dog on Fire", the theme song to The Daily Show.

"Boss Of Me"...really??

What about Birdhouse In Your Soul??

Wishing I was on the East coast next week....one of the best bands ever...especially live!
 
for U.S. TMBG fans, of course birdhouse... but for U.S. non-TMBG fans (and the general population), probably the malcom in the middle song.

A further useless data point: I’m in the US, not a fan, and would not have thought of any of those :) I would have thought of the one about “Two songs in me.”
 
TMBG is a great band. I loved them back int the 80's and still listen to them today. Now my kids are huge fans. I've got the pre-release of 4 songs on "Join Us", and they're all great. They are having a music video contest for their song. Check out the video my kids made. (Sorry for the shameless promotion) :)

I hate those band names that play like SQL Injection when inserted into a paragraph!!
 
A see a pattern here:

First off, let me mention that I am also not a TMBG fan (and by 'fan' I mean I don't have any of their songs/CD's in my music collection); but how can you guys not mention (my favourite TMBG song when I was in high school) "Don't Let's Start". That was such a cool song and such a cool video.

Err, just re-read the thread and read Michael383's post.

Not to put too fine a point on it but if you never watched MitM or didn't even know they did the theme then "Boss of Me" is no comparison to Birdhouse.

Not everyone watched or cared about MitM.

I've never seen it, hence why I only know them from Birdhouse In Your Soul
