They Might Be Giants

Alt-rock band They Might Be Giants, formed in Brooklyn, NY in 1982 by John Flansburgh and John Linnell, quickly grew a cult following with their unique blend of guitar, accordion, and clever wordplay. They gained college rock credibility with early hits and achieved mainstream success with the album "Flood" and its single "Birdhouse In Your Soul." Known for their innovative Dial-A-Song service and later forays into children's music and theme songs, they continue to be a creative force in alternative music.
