Brooklyn indie icons They Might Be Giants wrapped up their Northeast December tour this weekend with shows in their hometown and Boston. The Brooklyn show happened Friday night at Kings Theatre, where John, John and the rest of the band played a marathon set to a sold-out, adoring crowd.
Each night of this December tour highlighted a particular album from their discography, and at Kings it was 1994’s John Henry, with about half that album’s songs getting played. That still left room for a whole lot of everything else, including college radio hits like “Birdhouse in Your Soul,” “Particle Man,” “Where Your Eyes Don’t Go,” “Dead,” and tons more.
Check out photos from the show by Dimitry Mak, full set video, and the Kings Theatre setlist below.
