They Might Be Giants to Kick Off 'Flood' Tour Next Week

Alternative rock legends They Might Be Giants are just days away from kicking off their massive North American tour on June 8 with four sold-out shows in New York City. With the wellbeing of their fans and team in mind, the tour had been postponed multiple times due to COVID. Performing their seminal album Flood in full throughout the tour, the band will celebrate their valiant return to the stage while ringing in their 40th anniversary as a band.

Last Fall, TMBG released the dazzling album and coffee table art book project, BOOK to acclaim from fans and media alike! The spectacular project debuted at #1 Current Alternative Albums, #1 Current Rock Albums and #88 Billboard 200 charts.

The band's 2001 album Mink Car is also now available on vinyl for the first time ever. Originally released on September 11th, 2001, Mink Car is thought of as They Might Be Giants' "great lost album." Packed with audience favorites, Mink Car found the band collaborating with multiple producers including a return round of songs with Flood hitmakers Langer and Winstanley.

The album also spotlighted the talented production of newcomer Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne) on multiple songs including "Man, It's So Loud in Here." The inserted download card includes "Your Mom's Alright" - a collaboration with M. Doughty (Soul Coughing) previously only available as a bonus track on the Japanese CD release. The record is pressed on audiophile 180-gram opaque white vinyl and fans can get a copy here.

They Might Be Giants started with a Dial-A-Song service, powered by a lone phone machine out of their Brooklyn apartments. Since then, they have made 23 albums, and have secretly infiltrated your TV with original themes and incidental music to numerous shows and commercials. Fans can enjoy They Might Be Giants' FREE Dial-A-Song smartphone app (iPhone / Android) which adds a new song every day.
