They Might Be Giants

In the live recording of "Can't Keep Johnny Down" from July 15, 2011, They Might Be Giants were riding the wave of their album "Join Us," which had been released just a mere four days later. This album marked a triumphant return for the duo, coming after a brief hiatus and a string of children's music projects. The excitement in KOKO, London, is palpable as fans enthusiastically welcome new material, and it's a testament to their ability to merge quirky lyrics with catchy melodies. Interestingly, the band has always embraced live performances, often experimenting with their songs, making each show a unique experience. This gig, featuring fresh tunes, highlighted their continuous evolution while still retaining that signature TMBG charm. The July performance captures a moment of infectious energy and creative resurgence for the band.
