Following the success of projects outside of the straightforward LP, They Might Be Giants are returning to the road and their roots this summer. Having already played a handful of dates earlier this spring in preview of their 12th LP, The Else, out July 10th via They Might Be Giants’ own Idlewild label, TMBG take to North America a second time. The quirky alt-rockers keep things close by staying within the Eastern Standard time zone on this jaunt, hitting much of the mid-Atlantic region and the New York area multiple times. They are also more accessible than ever as they play a handful of free and family friendly shows throughout the three-week trip.
