For more two decades, alternative rock legends They Might Be Giants have been exactly that—giants. Formed as a duo in 1982, the band enjoyed an amazing run of breakthrough videos (“Don’t Let’s Start,” “Birdhouse in Your Soul”) on MTV, getting their start on the cult underground show 120 Minutes and then infiltrating the mainstream. In the late 90s the band began expanding their horizons into television, movies, and the Internet, contributing the opening theme to Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and the Grammy-winning song “Boss of Me” for the sitcom Malcolm in the Middle. Last year TMBGs released their latest CD, The Else, and launched their free monthly podcast, which has turned into a national underground favorite. After 13 albums and 4 million records sold worldwide, the band continues to play to sold-out crowds at home and abroad.

And, since 2002, TMBGs have built a whole new fan base: the three-foot and under set and their parents. Their CDs for kids—No!, Here Come the ABCs, and their latest, Here Come the 123s, which won the 2009 Grammy Award for Best Children’s Album—are full of the band’s signature goofiness and flavored by its fascination with the arcane and the surreal.
