Formed in Brooklyn, New York in 1982, They Might Be Giants (TMBG) has had a long
career that has touched on several genres including alternative, indie rock,
pop, and children's music. Founded by longtime friends John Flansburgh and John
Linnell, the duo originally met while teenagers in Lincoln, Massachusetts. They
both moved to Brooklyn in 1981 and immersed themselves in the local art-rock
scene. Using pre-recorded backing tapes or a drum machine, the duo first began
to record and perform minimalist music that was laced with humor and melody.
