AN EVENING WITH THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS AUSTRALIA 2019
Perth now SOLD OUT!35-years deep, Brooklyn’s freewheeling local heroes They Might Be Giants remain rock's most original perpetual-motion machine; creating startling new music and performing shows packed with spontaneity and undeniable joy across the globe.
TMBG’s brand new show features two big sets including all-time favourites, along with an ever-shifting rotation of fresh rarities spanning their epic career, and spur-of-the-moment improvisations that will delight even their exhausted road crew. The band recently wrapped up a thrilling run of European dates where they played to ecstatic sold-out crowds, and now they’re bringing their unique sensibility to stages across Australia.
"Oh my god, They Might Be Giants is underrated. That’s the best band of all time. Better than the Stones, better than the Beatles, better than Oasis, and better than Crosby, Stills and Nash."
- Open Mike Eagle, Pitchfork
Sydney and Melbourne fans are in for a double dose of awesome as the band are delivering two totally different shows in each city showcasing material from different era’s of the bands storied career! That’s 4 hours of TMBG brilliance over two nights.
