"As has been our way in recent years, all of these shows are 'An Evening with,' which means no opener. Almost every night we are on stage playing at 8 PM. The opening set will spotlight a different album each night, and we will make a point of changing up the second sets from night to night just for the recidivists and ourselves. 2 sets. 3 horns. 8-piece band. Starts early. Gets loud."
"We always have a bunch of good tracks left over to make an EP. I'm sure there's some exact equivalent process that goes on in the kitchen of a fancy restaurant, but I'm just guessing here. Anyway, these are the 'amuse-bouche' or perhaps 'amuse-oreille' tracks that we hope will be an enticing appetizer before the next album emerges from the oven."
They Might Be Giants released Eyeball, a four-song EP available now. John Linnell describes the EP as leftover tracks that act as an 'amuse-bouche' before the next album. The band will embark on the Bigger Show Tour in spring with an eight-piece lineup and three horns. Most shows are billed as 'An Evening with,' featuring no opener and two sets, often starting at 8 PM. The opening set will spotlight a different album each night while second sets will vary nightly. Multiple-city stops include Woodstock, Indianapolis, Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York City, and Boston. Three Brooklyn Steel dates run May 28–30; tickets go on sale January 23 at 10 AM local time.
