Performing LIVE on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, May 24!
Brooklyn’s original alternative rockers, They Might Be Giants are currently on tour to support their deliriously catchy new studio album, Nanobots. Today at 10amET marked the start of a 48 Hour Party Sale in the TMBG download store, offering all downloads at half-price till 10amET on May 2, including Nanobots! Currently trailblazing through Australia and New Zealand, the band will make a valiant return to US stages this May! Fans that are not able to make it out to a show can catch the band performing LIVE on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon on May 24th.
Nanobots features 45 memorable minutes of electrifying pop melodies, vivid lyrics and just enough bass-clarinet. Today, they reveal “Insect Hospital +,”a trippy, animated video by Hine Mizushima for a series of short songs – tracks 13-18, from the album. Watch the “Insect Hospital +” video HERE. Feel free to post & share!

Nanobots was created at the private studio of They Might Be Giants’ long time producer Patrick Dillett (St. Vincent, David Byrne, Mary J. Blige). It’s available at all digital & physical retailers via Idlewild Recordings, and marks the debut offering through the band’s new distributor Megaforce Records. Known for recording numerous themes – most notably The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and the GRAMMY-winning Malcolm In the Middle theme – the band has 2 platinum albums, 2 gold albums and have been nominated for 3 GRAMMYs, winning two. Revered for their energized live show and love of the road, catch the band live on tour!
