They Might Be Giants

In the summer of 2002, They Might Be Giants were riding high on the success of their album 'Mink Car,' which had been released just a year prior. This performance of 'Robot Parade' at The Fillmore in San Francisco showcases the band at a vibrant point in their career, blending their signature quirky sound with a dynamic live energy that fans love. What’s particularly interesting is that 'Mink Car' marked their return to an independent label after a stint with a major, which really speaks to their unwavering commitment to artistic freedom. This live recording isn’t just a glimpse into a concert; it's a celebration of their distinctive blend of humor and complexity, solidifying their place in the alt-rock landscape. Their unique performances like this remind us why they've garnered a cult following over the decades.
