History
Linnell and Flansburgh first met as teenagers growing up in Lincoln, Massachusetts. They began writing songs together while attending Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School but never officially formed a band. The two attended separate colleges after high school, and Linnell joined The Mundanes, a New Wave group from Rhode Island. The two reunited in 1981 after moving to Brooklyn to continue their career.

Then: The Earlier Years (1982 to 1989)
Taking their name from the 1971 movie They Might Be Giants, the duo began performing their own music in and around New York City Flansburgh on guitar, Linnell on accordion and saxophone, and accompanied by a drum machine and a prerecorded backing track on audio cassette. Their typical instrumentation, along with their songs which featured unusual subject matter and clever wordplay, soon attracted a strong local following. Their performances also featured oddly comical stage props such as oversized fezzes and large cardboard cutout heads of newspaper editor William Allen White.

During the pause, they began recording their songs onto an answering machine, and then advertising the phone number in local newspapers. They also released a demo cassette, which earned them a review in People magazine. The review caught the attention of Bar None Records, who signed They Might Be Giants to a recording deal.

Recent activity (2004-Present)
In 2004, the band created one of the first artist-owned online music stores, at which customers could purchase and download MP3 copies of their music, both new releases and many previously released albums. By creating their own store, the band could keep money that would otherwise go to record companies. The name of the store was TMBG MP3 Music Store. In 2004, the band released their first new adult rock work in three years, the EP Indestructible Object. They followed that up with a new album, The Spine, and an associated EP, The Spine Surfs Alone. For the album's first single, Experimental Film, TMBG teamed up with Homestar Runner creators Matt and Mike Chapman to create an animated music video. The band's collaboration with the Brothers Chaps also included several Puppet Jam segments with puppet Homestar, and the music for a Strong Bad email entitled Different Town.

Drummer Dan Hickey left the band around this timeframe and was subsequently replaced by Marty Beller, who had already played with TMBG for kids' shows and other projects. TMBG also contributed a track to the 2004 Future Soundtrack for America compilation, a project compiled by John Flansburgh with the help of Spike Jonze and Barsuk Records. The band contributed Tippecanoe and Tyler Too, a political campaign song from the presidential election of 1840. The compilation was released by Barsuk and featured indie, alternative, and high-profile acts such as Death Cab for Cutie, The Flaming Lips, and Bright Eyes.

Their most recent album, The Else, was released July 10, 2007. The album was produced by David Byrne and The Dust Brothers. Their song, Man, It's so Loud in Here, is used on Real Madrid TV to publicize Real Madrid Castilla matches. They Might Be Giants has written a commissioned piece for Brooklyn-based robotic music outfit League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots (2007).
