R.T. Firefly in New York, NY
February 20, 1983 at 10:00 PM

Fan Recaps and Comments:

The venue, R. T. Firefly, was a punk rock club and restaurant in the basement of 75 Bleecker St., on the corner of Bleecker Street and Broadway. John Flansburgh described the venue in a 2013 Tumblr post:

Before the East Village scene blew up with hot spots like the Pyramid, 8BC, Limbo Lounge and Darinka, there were just a few odd showcase clubs available to us. Dr. B's, RT Firefly and others I have blocked from my memory were the only places we could get gigs. Small, but friendly crowds, but very much an anonymous, who knows? kinda vibe.

On a promotional flyer created by the Johns in 1983, seen momentarily in the 2003 documentary Gigantic (A Tale Of Two Johns), a list of TMBG's then-recent shows indicates that this was the band's second appearance of the year, after the Feb. 13 show at Dr. B's where they first performed under the name They Might Be Giants.
