They Might Be Giants Live in Pittsburgh Performing 'Funny Puppet'

Venue: Mr. Smalls Theatre Location: Millvale, Pennsylvania, United States Date: March 20, 2013

In March 2013, They Might Be Giants performed live at Mr. Smalls Theatre in Millvale, PA, during a fascinating phase of their career. Just prior, in 2013, they released the album 'Nanobots,' which showcased their hallmark quirky songwriting and experimental spirit. This album was quite significant for the band, as it marked a return to their independent roots while experimenting with short format songs, echoing their classic hit style while pushing sonic boundaries. The live performance likely reflected this playful energy, engaging the audience with their unique blend of humor and catchy tunes. Interestingly, they are known for embracing unconventional performance techniques, such as using puppets and costumes, which adds a delightful layer to their concerts. This live recording captures that whimsical essence perfectly, proving that they're still as engaging and innovative as ever.
