Don’t underestimate the power of Johns Flansburgh and Linnell. As the perennial geek-rock favorite They Might Be Giants, the duo has been poking at polka-punk, accordion jams, and nerdy pop nuggets for more than 20 years. Though the group’s 120 Minutes-era prime is long gone, Linnell and Flansburgh have kept more than busy in the past few years, cranking out new albums both for children (No! and the new Here Come The 123s) and regular folks (Mink Car, The Spine). Not surprisingly, the songs on last year’s The Else (co-produced by The Dust Brothers) aren’t nearly as fun as classics such as “Put Your Hand Inside The Puppet Head” and “Ana Ng,” but they don’t sound out of place either. Opening: Oppenheimer.
