They Might Be Giants Perform 'Shoehorn with Teeth' and 'A Shooting Star is Not a Star' with Avatar Puppets Live at the Gothic in Denver

Venue: Gothic Theatre Location: Englewood, Colorado, United States Date: November 5, 2009

On November 5, 2009, They Might Be Giants performed live at the Gothic Theatre in Englewood, Colorado, showcasing their quirky creativity and energy. By this time, the band had just released their album "Here Comes Science" in 2009, which focused on presenting educational themes through their signature catchy style. This live recording features the duo, often referred to as 'the two Johns,' amusingly donning sock puppets called "The Avatars" while pulling the audience into their whimsical world. Fun fact: during this performance, they blended their playful visuals with songs like "Shoehorn with Teeth" and "A Shooting Star is Not a Star," highlighting their knack for engaging storytelling through music. The use of a fish-eye lens not only amplified the playful aesthetic but also reflected their innovative approach to live performances, making it a memorable part of their ongoing evolution as artists.
