THE INSTANT FAN CLUB OATH
As a TMBG Instant Fan Club member, I am a willing participant
in this secret experiment in human happiness.
When asked about the Instant Fan Club, I shall reply,
“Oh, I don’t know. You must be thinking of some other band.”

Ever wonder what a TMBG press release looks like?
It looks like this...
 
GRAMMY® AWARD-WINNING BAND, THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS
ANNOUNCE A NEW ALBUM OF ORIGINAL ROCK MUSIC
I LIKE FUN OUT JANUARY 19, 2018
 
FEATURING “I LEFT MY BODY” – LISTEN NOW
 
TMBG’s DIAL-A-SONG RETURNS FOR ALL OF 2018
 
Stream “I Left My Body”: Spotify | YouTube
Pre-Order I Like Fun: iTunes | Amazon | Direct from TMBG
​From Your Local Record Store: CD | Vinyl
 
“Oh my god, They Might Be Giants is underrated. 
That’s the best band of all time. Better than the Stones,
 better than the Beatles, better than Oasis, 
and better than Crosby, Stills and Nash.” 
 
– Open Mike Eagle, Pitchfork “Over/Under”
 
 
Why is the world in love again? They Might Be Giants 
has announced the release of I Like Fun, a remarkable 
15-track album to be available physically and digitally 
on January 19, 2018. 
 
I Like Fun jumps with surprises, vitality, and the startling 
point of view of these Brooklyn originals. Over a year in the making, 
songwriters and band founders John Linnell and John Flansburgh 
draw on themes of dread, death, and disappointment and set them 
to their driving, hyper-melodic music. The results will leave even the 
most heavy-hearted among us with a renewed sense of wonder. 
Fresh and sonically adventurous, the band’s command of the studio 
and the song is in rare form from beginning to end. 
Find out more and preview the record here.
 
On I Like Fun, the spotlight is also on the band’s formidable 
long-standing live lineup; drummer Marty Beller, bassist 
Danny Weinkauf and lead guitarist Dan Miller. While the group enjoys 
a reputation for delivering one of the liveliest shows around, the album 
accomplishes the rare feat of capturing that ecstatic intensity on disc. 
Co-produced with and mixed by Patrick Dillett (St. Vincent, Donald 
Fagen, The National, Mary J. Blige), the album was tracked and mixed 
at the brand-new Reservoir Studios—site of the legendary 
Skyline Studios where TMBG recorded 
their platinum-selling album Flood. 
 
2018 will also see the return of TMBG's Dial-A-Song service, with 
weekly installments toll free at (844) 387-6962, www.dialasong.com, 
and on streaming sites everywhere, featuring 
new music all year long!
