SUMMARY:Austin: They Might Be Giants at Emo's
DESCRIPTION:They Might Be Giants return to Emo’s on Friday\, November 6\, for the second stop of a two-night Austin run celebrating four decades of one of alternative rock’s most inventive catalogs. Doors are at 8 PM\, with tickets starting around $81. \nFormed in Brooklyn in 1982 by John Flansburgh and John Linnell\, They Might Be Giants built a cult following through their Dial-A-Song phone service — a pre-internet way for fans to call in and hear new\, often absurdist songs — before breaking into the mainstream with 1990’s Flood\, home to enduring favorites like “Birdhouse in Your Soul” and their cover of “Istanbul (Not Constantinople).” The band has won two Grammy Awards\, including Best Musical Album for Children\, and their song “Boss of Me” became the theme to the sitcom Malcolm in the Middle. \nBuy Tickets \nEmo’s has hosted plenty of veteran acts reinventing their live show for a new generation\, and TMBG’s current tour leans into that idea directly\, built around deep-catalog sets for the band’s famously obsessive\, trivia-minded fanbase. The band’s blend of herky-jerky art-rock\, nerdy humor\, and genuinely sturdy pop songwriting has aged into something closer to institution than novelty act\, and their live shows remain as unpredictable as ever\, mixing old favorites with reworked arrangements and the occasional cover. \nTickets are available here. \nBeyond their Grammy-winning children’s albums\, Flansburgh and Linnell have kept up a steady stream of adult-audience records well into their fifth decade as a band\, touring behind a catalog that spans more than 20 studio albums and countless EPs\, compilations\, and one-off singles released through their long-running Dial-A-Song archive. For another dose of Austin’s long-running love of genre-scrambling live bands\, Mohawk down the street regularly books acts cut from similarly idiosyncratic cloth. \nDoors are at 8 PM for this all-ages show. Expect a packed room and sing-along energy from a crowd that’s been waiting decades to hear some of these songs live.

SUMMARY:Austin: They Might Be Giants at Emo’s (Nov. 7)
DESCRIPTION:They Might Be Giants play Emo’s in Austin on Saturday\, Nov. 7\, 2026\, at 8:00 PM\, with tickets starting at $100. It is the second of two nights at the club; see our listing for They Might Be Giants on Nov. 6. The band likes to vary its setlists on multi-night stands\, so fans going both nights can expect different songs. \nJohn Flansburgh and John Linnell formed They Might Be Giants in Brooklyn in 1982 and built an early following with Dial-A-Song\, an answering machine that played a new song to anyone who called. Their 1990 album “Flood” turned them into alternative rock favorites with “Birdhouse in Your Soul” and their version of “Istanbul (Not Constantinople)\,” and their quirky\, clever songwriting has kept a devoted following for four decades. \nBuy Tickets \nThe band has also won two Grammy Awards\, one for “Boss of Me\,” the theme to “Malcolm in the Middle\,” and another for the children’s album “Here Come the 123s.” In 2026 they released the “Eyeball” EP\, which Linnell called an appetizer before their next full album. Their live band features eight players\, including a three-piece horn section\, so the songs hit bigger on stage than on record. \nGet your They Might Be Giants tickets on TicketNetwork \nEmo’s started on Red River Street in 1992 as a punk and indie club and moved to East Riverside Drive in 2011\, where it hosts touring rock and indie acts in a larger room. Its general admission floor suits a crowd that knows every lyric. See more shows on the Emo’s venue page on Texas Music Map. \nDoors typically open an hour before showtime. Emo’s is at 2015 East Riverside Drive\, with on-site and nearby paid parking. Saturday night shows fill up quickly\, so arrive early for a spot near the stage.
