They Might Be Giants

In the summer of 2007, They Might Be Giants were riding high on the wave of their latest album, 'The Else,' which was released just a month prior in July. This live performance at the Bowery Ballroom showcases their signature eclectic style and playful approach to music, blending quirky lyrics with horn arrangements that are delightfully unique. Interestingly, the group had a reputation for incorporating innovative elements into their performances, and this concert highlighted their use of The Band of Artists for Social Change (BoFiS) horn section, adding a vibrant layer to the already lively atmosphere. This period marked a turning point for the band, who were expanding their repertoire while still holding onto their beloved quirky roots. It's fascinating to see how live shows like this one fueled their dynamic creativity.
