Last night They Might Be Giants rocked out the Beacon Theater on the Upper West Side and my ears are still ringing from the musical goodness. They performed many songs off their latest album, The Else, as well as their standard favorites "Instanbul (Not Constantinople)", "Particle Man", and their usual closer "New York City." They didn't perform some of their older hits like "Minimum Wage" and "Your Racist Friend" but you can't have everything. All in all, twas a good show.
They Might Be Giants was founded by John Flansburgh and John Linnell ("the two Johns") in 1982. Although both guys are from Massachusetts, they didn't form the band until they had both moved to Brooklyn -- thus making it a wholly bred product of NYC. And as one of the guys pointed out last night, they used their MetroCards to get to the show. Very economical.
