They Might Be Giants will perform their 1990 album Flood in its entirety when they tour Australia in October 2023. The band will be in Australia following a lengthy North American run of Flood anniversary dates – which were due to kick off in 2020, but postponed until last year due to the pandemic.
UPDATE 22/05/2023: They Might Be Giants Add Three Extra Shows to 2023 Australian Tour
They Might Be Giants – ‘Birdhouse in Your Soul’
Each show will see They Might Be Giants perform two full sets: one composed of the entire 19-track Flood and another spanning their career, “from early favourites” to 2021’s BOOK. Core members John Flansburgh and John Linnell be joined by their full backing band for the shows.
Flood, They Might Be Giants’ third studio album, arrived in January of 1990. It has remained their best-selling album and contains many of their most beloved songs, such as ‘Birdhouse in Your Soul’, ‘Particle Man’ and a cover of ‘Istanbul (Not Constantinople)’.
TMBG have played multiple Flood celebration shows throughout the years. In 2015, they released Flood Live in Australia, a live album that captured the band performing all of the album’s songs throughout Australia in May 2013.
