Combining a knack for infectious melodies with a quirky, bizarre sense of humor and a vaguely avant-garde aesthetic borrowed from the New York post-punk underground, the duo of John Flansburgh and John Linnell (better known as They Might Be Giants) became one of the more unlikely musical success.

Through their string of indie releases and constant touring as a duo, TMBG built up a huge following on college campuses during the late '80s, switching to a major label in the early '90s and focusing on their cult following in recent years.

The duo celebrated their 20th anniversary in summer 2002 with the release of their first children's album, No!. More recently, They Might Be Giants released a series of podcasts and contributed to various film soundtracks, including Disney's "Meet the Robinsons" and the film adaptation of Neil Gaiman's "Coraline." TMBG's 14th studio release, The Else, hit stores in the summer of 2007.
