IN KC: Might Be Giants

Might Be Giants - They are great music!

They Might Be Giants are an alternative pop/rock duo formed in 1982 by John Linnell and John Flansburgh. The band are most renowned for their hit single "Birdhouse in Your Soul". Linnell and Flansburgh attended high school together in Lincoln, Mass., but after graduation they went their separate ways, forming the band after meeting up again in New York.

The Beaumont is a bar in Westport, and yes you have to stand lol.

Wow - standing - have to think about that one again. They are a great group but...thanks for the information.

I couldn't imagine going to a rock show and sitting down. In fact I remember a Pantera show about 10 years ago at Sandstone and a few people were sitting down in the seats in front of the stage. Phil fucking lost it and started berating them. Good fun entertainment

Sting and the Police, Jackson Browne, Tina Turner, The Eagles, Tom Petty - all setting down!
I even sit down at ACLFest!

I don't like those modern groups.

WTF with these new fangled bands! LOL COG, where ya been?

Uh, Lawrence Welk is not on my list.
