'They Might Be Giants' Kick Off Tour Throughout US & Canada Today
By: BWW News Desk May. 30, 2013
Brooklyn's original alternative rockers, They Might Be Giants, have made a valiant return to the US after their recent stint though Australia and New Zealand. The band will take over North American stages once again on a massive 35-date tour in support of their deliriously catchy new studio album, Nanobots. The tour includes a "Celebrate Brooklyn" hometown show as well as stops in Los Angeles, Des Moines, Kansas City, Boise, Seattle, DC & Vancouver.
Nanobots features 45 memorable minutes of electrifying pop melodies, vivid lyrics and just enough bass-clarinet. Nanobots is available at all digital & physical retailers via Idlewild Recordings, and marks the debut offering through the band's new distributor Megaforce Records. Known for recording numerous themes - most notably The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and the GRAMMY-winning Malcolm In the Middle theme - the band has 2 platinum albums, 2 gold albums and have been nominated for 3 GRAMMYs, winning two. Revered for their energized live show and love of the road, catch the band live on tour!
