They Might Be Giants

On September 11, 1998, They Might Be Giants performed at the House of Blues in West Hollywood, showcasing their unique blend of alternative rock with a whimsical twist. This live recording came just after the release of their album "Flood" in 1990, which catapulted them into the mainstream with hits like "Birdhouse in Your Soul." By '98, the band was promoting their album "Apollo 18," released in 1992, which continued to build their reputation for clever songwriting and catchy melodies. Interestingly, the band is known for their innovative use of multimedia and interactive formats in music, even incorporating educational content, like their children's albums. This live performance echoed their knack for engaging audiences with humor and intellect, solidifying their distinct place in the music landscape long before the events that would forever change September 11th.
