“The crowd’s enthusiasm for the fresh material is unmatched even when the band proffers what is perhaps their most-loved song, “Birdhouse in Your Soul”… “ – Rolling Stone
Today, two-time GRAMMY winners They Might Be Giants release Flood Live In Australia — a FREE full-album download for all! The live set was recorded on the band’s latest tour down under. Along with an in-depth interview with Yahoo! Music about the album’s colorful origins, the free download is available HERE.
They Might Be Giants are going massive in 2015. Three brand new albums are slated for release, with the first, Glean, hitting stores on 4/21. Their monthly Williamsburg stand has sold out for months in advance and national touring begins in April. International touring is booked for the fall. And best of all is the return of their legendary Dial-A-Song service, magnificently updated for the digital age.
For all of 2015, the Brooklyn originals return to their high-concept/no-budget idea with a new song every week at a toll-free number at (844) 387-6962 as well as via the web at www.DialASong.com. Fans can hear the songs streaming on the site and YouTube. Folks can get tracks individually at iTunes (and all those other fine music places) or join the band’s Dial-A-Song Direct service on Drip.fm and get the whole year’s stack of tracks for just 30 bucks.
In celebration of the 2015 Dial-A-Song project and to raise awareness of the epic song “Erase,” They Might Be Giants are sponsoring Dial-A-Song’s first video contest. Judged by Black Francis of The Pixies, TMBG challenge all video, film and visually-minded people to create a video companion for the track by April 7. For more information about submissions, click here.
As always, They Might Be Giants celebrate their Brooklyn roots and keep the home-fires burning with their monthly stand at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Following last night’s blazing show, they will play one more sold-out night in March before jumping on the bus for a national tour.
