A NOTE OF GRATITUDE FROM JOHN F.
Greetings! John “Jet Lag” Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants here with words of appreciation for all the amazing audiences of Australia! What a blast that was! While it still seems impossible we’ve been playing out for so long, the energy and enthusiasm we received on this Australian run make it so worthwhile. With so many sold out shows, the band so locked in, and our crew so on it; it was a pure joy. Thank you. We hope to return soon with a totally different show and the same band!

THE TRUTH ABOUT BEAST OF HORNS
This brand new set of live tracks recorded across the US in 2022 and 2023 captures the musical glory of They Might Be Giants' expanded line up. On Beast of Horns, a murderers' row of brass instrumentalists have joined TMBG's touring unit: saxophonist Stan Harrison, trombonist Dan Levine, and trumpet player Mark “Loveman” Pender. These fresh arrangements take the band's musicality to remarkable new places. Beast of Horns presents a revelatory selection of songs from long-standing audience favorites like Doctor Worm, When Will You Die?, and Let Me Tell You About My Operation, to deeper cuts like The Darlings of Lumberland, Authenticity Trip, and Mr. Me, along with a rollicking rendition of BOOK's Brontosaurus. Beast of Horns is a snapshot of the band in peak performance.
Available as an exclusive full-length download, on special red 180gr. audiophile vinyl, and on indestructible CDs!
