Stage Announcements - 7/2

Small amounts of news to report this week and it is mostly related to the band's gigs in the UK last weekend.

For lack of more newsworthy things to send you to look at, I am going to send you off to go look at all the wonderful pictures that came out of these shows. They are all copyrighted to their owners, so be kind. Look, don't touch.

From Saturday:

There are these by Flickr user Coraline73:

And from Sunday:

This Flickr set from user tepidmunroe who was, I believe, one of the orchestrators of the Cambridge show:

And this one from user StrayToaster. I love the picture of Marty and Flans during High Five:

Also, if you haven't yet, you can still listen to TMBG on Jonathan Ross's radio program, but you have to hurry because it'll only be up for one more day:

You can also listen to the Johns being interviewed on the UK radio program, The Strand. When asked what they plan to tackle next Linnell replies: "We're thinking about making a record for dead people next. That's the demographic we have not touched yet."

The guys were also on Robert Elms radio show, but by this time you read this it wont be available to listen to anymore so I wont bother trying to link.

As I mentioned last week, TMBG also did an interview with Iain Lee while they were in London, for his radio show and podcast. He said on a forum that they were hoping to air it this week but it doesn't look like that happened. I'll keep and eye out for when it does air and post the link.

Unless this blog is your only source of TMBG news  (haha, as if), you probably already know that They Might Be Giants featured in the Final Jeopardy question on last Friday's episode of Jeopardy. I can not tell you how many of my co-workers mentioned this to me. I missed it since I was working but fortunately it is on YouTube. I can't believe none of the contestants got the answer. That noise you heard was thousands of geeks screaming at their televisions sets.





And I shall leave you with a short trip back in time to look at these pictures from the June 11th Stone Pony show taken by photographer Joe Papeo. Really great use of lighting in these and some excellent shots of Flans.

That's all until next week. Happy Fourth of July everyone! Now go enjoy some fireworks :-)
