Timothy Newman

Timothy Newman toured with They Might Be Giants on numerous occasions from the John Henry days through the early 2000s, playing trombone and bass trombone. He contributed trombone to the studio recording of "S-E-X-X-Y," and can be seen in the video for "Doctor Worm" despite not playing on the recording. Timothy and Jim O'Connor have occasionally "battled" musically on stage, in what was dubbed "Battle 'O 'Im" (named after the _im's in their names). Timothy was in the original lineup of Sapphire Bullets, playing the role of Justin.
