They Might Be Giants is a band from Brooklyn, New York that was founded twenty somethin’ years back by John Linnell and John Flansburgh, and are often joined on stage and on recordings by Dan Miller, Danny Wienkauf, Marty Beller, Dan Levine and Curt Ramm. They recently won the 2009 Grammy for Best Children’s Album (Music) for a kids project called “Here Come the 123s.” TMBG perform frequently, make videos and podcasts, and do a fair amount of television work.
Combining a knack for infectious melodies with a quirky, bizarre sense of humor and a vaguely avant-garde aesthetic, They Might Be Giants became one of the most unlikely alternative success stories of the late '80s and early '90s. John Flansburgh and John Linnell released their eponymous debut in 1986, and the album became a college radio hit; it also made waves on MTV due to the inventive video for "Don't Let's Start." Their song "Boss of Me" served as the theme to the comedy series “Malcolm in the Middle” and earned them a Grammy Award in 2002. Their most recent album is “Here Comes Science." They Might be giants have kept their momentum going for over 20 years and are showing no signs of slowing down.
