A message from John F.
“Hey everyone –– we are just about to embark on our West Coast US run and very much looking forward to more sold out shows, and getting a chance to rock out with our mighty 8-piece outfit. This last long run was extremely satisfying and it feels very much like we are performing at full caffeination. We are going to be adding some different songs to the set just to keep the ball rolling, but with the full-length “Evening with” set up, it is very easy to both play all the audience favorites and still challenge ourselves with different repertoire.
As you may have noticed, we are also touring Scotland, England, and Ireland. Because demand was high and some shows sold out early we were able to add more shows, which was gratifying on every level and will make the tour all the more exciting.

We want to encourage folks in AUSTRALIA to also get the word out, and maybe the powers that be will get us further out into other places over there.

WHAT’S ALL THIS ABOUT THE GREATEST SHIRT EVER?
Well, here it is!
Yes, inspired by the song Fingertips, from the fevered imagination of David Cowles this is our first WORDLESS t-shirt. It illustrates every section of the song, and undoubtably will fit in proudly among the most revered designs in the hallowed halls of the They Might Be Giants T-Shirt Museum (currently being designed, to be built along side the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle, WA).
This shirt is IN STOCK and ready to ship today.

WE HAVE BRAND NEW VINYL!
The Spine has been reissued by Idlewild Recordings and is available as a PRE-ORDER* right now
The gatefold package is beautiful, the music has been remastered for disc, and it is on 180g audiophile vinyl. The Spine introduced Marty Beller to the world, and in many ways is the beginning of now for the current incarnation of They Might Be Giants. It is chockablock with killer tracks, and we are very proud to be able to offer it up on vinyl.
*Pre-order it today and expect it to ship in approximately 4-5 weeks. If you order other vinyl or a t-shirt, our fulfillment folks will hold your entire order until it lands.
OTHER RECENT IDLEWILD VINYL PROJECTS to PONDER WHEN SUPERSIZING YOUR ORDER?
For the first time ever, Mink Car is available on vinyl, and by popular demand for good old fashioned records we now have Book and Lincoln available on 180g black vinyl. If you are looking for extraordinary discs, both Apollo 18 and Flood are available on colored vinyl and picture discs (with zoetropic artwork on side two!)
