Other dates[edit]
- A listing in the January 30, 1983 issue of The New York Times notes that They Might Be Giants was to appear at R.T. Firefly on January 31, alongside Providence and Mike Neville. It is assumed that this listing is false and that the performance didn't take place, as it would predate the band's debut at Dr. B's on February 13. Another listing for that show in The Village Voice advertises The Spells in place of TMBG. The date is also absent from a 1983 promotional flyer that lists the band's earliest shows.
- The band was booked to perform at the Mudd Club in the summer of 1983, but the venue closed shortly before the scheduled date.[1][2]
- In late 1983 or early 1984, John Flansburgh performed a solo set at a small bar called Bedrock. The venue was located in the basement of Belinda's Lounge, a strip club, at 145 Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The gig had originally been booked as a They Might Be Giants show, but John Linnell broke his wrist and was unable to perform.[3] This is the only known full-length solo show that Flansburgh has played.
