They Might Be Giants
Barnes & Noble in New York, NY
December 10, 2003 at 7:00 PM

From left: John Linnell, Marcus Rojas, Mark Pender and Dan Levine

Fan Recaps and Comments:

This free in-store performance and signing was held to promote the band's recently released book Bed, Bed, Bed, and featured TMBG's Other Thing brass ensemble. It was the third of five performances by this lineup.

John Flansburgh announced the show in a December 4, 2003, mailing list email:

Wanted to alert all the New York City posse to our big free concert on December 10 at Barnes & Noble in Union Square with They Might Be Giants' Other Thing: Dan "The Machine" Levine on trombone; Marcus Rojas, star of the WB's Tuba Island on tuba; Marc "The Loveman" Pender on trumpet; and Marty "The Big Bang" Beller will be pounding the skins. The actual performance has been moved to a larger space immediately adjacent to the bookstore and will start promptly at 7, so be prepared. We'll be previewing (and rehearsing live) for our big December 26 show at Irving Plaza.
