Brooklyn legends They Might Be Giants have announced the release of a new single, album, and tour dates for The Bigger Show Tour scheduled for this spring. The Bigger Show Tour includes two concerts in Woodstock and three in Brooklyn.
They Might Be Giants new LP and lead single “Wu-Tang” is released now and is available to listen here. The song celebrates the Wu-Tang Clan, an American hip-hop group that was formed in Staten Island in the early 90s. Wu-Tang Clan is one of the most influential rap groups in history. They Might Be Giants celebrates the power of Wu-Tang Clan as a transformative force over its fans.
John Linnell commented, “Many years ago, we discussed the idea of celebrating an artist or a style of music, but in the form of a completely unrelated genre of music. The original idea was a Tin Pan Alley-style song extolling the greatness of heavy metal. ‘Wu-Tang’ was written more or less along those lines, partly inspired by their TV biopic, but void of any musical reference to the great hip-hop collective. Are we fans? Sure! Would we ever attempt to emulate their sound? Not publicly.”
They Might Be Giants is also releasing,The World Is to Dig, their first album released after their Grammy-nominated BOOK this April.
The World Is to Dig, releases April 14 at TMBGshop.com and all streaming sites. In addition, the album is available on an exclusive 180-gram vinyl color variant and can be purchased at indie retail shops on April 17.
They Might Be Giants Spring ‘The Bigger Show Tour’ will play a total of five shows in New York State, beginning April 17th and 18th in Woodstock. The tour follows a “An Evening with” format, where for their first set, the band will spotlight a different album from their catalog every night. The second set will feature all of the fan favorites and classic songs.
The band will also perform three shows in Brooklyn on May 28, 29, and 30 at Brooklyn Steel.
Tickets for all shows are available here. In addition, multi-night passes and special rates at local hotels are available in certain locations. A full list of tour dates and locations can be found below.
