They Might Be Giants
Iron Horse in Northampton, MA
November 12, 1985 at 10:30 PM
Fan Recaps and Comments:
Both shows were presented by the Northampton alternative arts and music publication, Oh No! Noho![1] Tickets were $5 and available in advance. On the day of the shows, the band was interviewed by WOZQ Northampton, with their flexi-disc also being played.[2]
In an interview with the Daily Collegian in 1996, John Linnell recalled how the band began playing in Northampton:
We played Northampton at a party at a friend's house off Main St., before getting a record deal or a booking agent. We met a bunch of friends at the show and we got a gig at the Iron Horse largely because of these friends. That show was great — a ruckus scene. So we came back a bunch of times and each time was more hysterical.
Preview of the show from the Valley Advocate Amherst, Nov. 13, 1985:
They Might Be Giants, hailed in the Village Voice as "one of the finest entertainment values in show business today," brings their wacky eclecticism to the Iron Horse on Tuesday. Listen for their time-defying "Everything Right Is Wrong."
