This was postponed a year, so we were very excited to be at The Enmore Theatre with our good friends, Alex and Alastair. Fans of They Might Be Giants are varied as we could tell from the crowd that night. The Enmore was the perfect venue for them.
They were playing all of their seminal album, Flood, and a section of favourites. I love them so much and they were pure joy and everything you would imagine them to be. They pissed off the purists by not playing Flood in album order, lol, but in the order they wanted, this is so them and it was very funny.
We had good seats upstairs, and thoroughly enjoyed their unique take on pop. I have always loved the beauty of Birdhouse in my Soul, and I thought my heart would explode with joy when they played it halfway through the show.
Live music is healing.
