Asheville, Get Ready for Change: They Might Be Giants Postpone Shows!
Big news hit the lovely city of Asheville recently as They Might Be Giants, the ever-quirky and oh-so-talented band, announced that they are rescheduling their upcoming shows in the area due to some health concerns. While fans were excitedly anticipating two sold-out performances on March 25 and 26, 2025, the band did not provide any new dates just yet. But don’t worry, their love for Asheville is well-known, having played at least nine different times at the beloved Orange Peel.
A Legendary Band with a Brooklyn Heart
Formed back in 1982 in Brooklyn by the duo of John Flansburgh and John Linnell, They Might Be Giants has been a force in the music world for decades. They struck gold after signing with Elektra Records, giving us hit after hit. Remember that catchy tune “Birdhouse in Your Soul”? That little gem came from their third studio album, “Flood,” which was released in 1989 and even soared to a delightful No. 3 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart!
And who could forget their fun cover of “Istanbul (Not Constantinople)”? This quirky song gained serious traction thanks to MTV, cementing the band’s reputation as a staple in alternative music. Even after wrapping up their major-label era in the late ’90s, TMBG has forged ahead, showcasing their talent as independent artists with a collection of critically celebrated works that keep fans eagerly awaiting more.
Music Like No Other
One of the things that makes They Might Be Giants stand out is their distinctive sound. They blend elements of comedy, progressive rock, and alternative rock into their music, creating an atmosphere that’s hard to categorize. With two Grammy Awards and nominations for two others under their belt, along with a nod for a Tony Award for their score for the Broadway musical “SpongeBob SquarePants,” they never cease to impress!
Your Favorite Songs at Your Fingertips
Since 1983, TMBG has given fans a unique way to stay connected with their music through a program called Dial-A-Song. This cool idea allowed fans to call in and listen to unreleased demos, and today they’ve adapted it into a convenient app! It’s part of their commitment to connecting with fans in fresh and innovative ways.
In 2002, the band further took control of their music distribution by launching Idlewild Recordings. They weren’t stopping there; from starting a podcast in 2006 to contributing to fellow artists’ albums, TMBG is all about collaboration and creativity!
What’s New? A Peek into the Future
With their latest release, “Beast of Horns,” now available in digital, CD, and vinyl formats (but notably absent from streaming services), fans are eager for what’s next. The band hints that their upcoming 24th studio album—expected in 2025—might just shake things up a bit with the inclusion of a string section. Can’t you just feel the excitement?
Spreading the Love
The current tour promoting “Beast of Horns” has not only been celebrating their music but also giving back! They Might Be Giants are pledging to donate $1 from every ticket sold to support relief efforts in Asheville and Florida after the recent hurricanes. They’ll be assisting local organizations such as MANNA FoodBank and Feeding Tampa Bay during these challenging times.
An Engaging Concert Experience
Attending a TMBG concert is a wild ride! Their shows are electric and spontaneous, with the band engaging the audience in ways that keep the energy alive. They’ve come a long way from their early days of using a drum machine to a full three-piece horn section on tour. With nearly 90 songs in their catalog, every night features a unique setlist—how cool is that?
As Asheville waits in anticipation for the newly announced details of TMBG’s performances, we send our best wishes to the band while they focus on their health. Remember, good things come to those who wait!
