They Might Be Giants
Gigantic (A Tale Of Two Johns)

Single US 2003 on Plexifilm label
Rock (Alternative Rock)

John Flansburgh and John Linnell met in the 70s as junior high students in Lincoln, Massachusetts. A decade later, their band- THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS- would stand at the forefront of a burgeoning East Village NYC performance art scene as well as the college music revolution of the late 80s. Gigantic (A Tale of Two Johns) is the acclaimed true story of these "urban legends" (The New Yorker), tracing their independent and sometimes hilarious path through two decades in the pop music wilderness. From their legendary Dial-a-song answering machine to their recent Grammy Award-winning theme song to Malcom in the Middle, fans and friends gather to tell "an oral history that is truly funny, charming and even touching" (Nylon Magazine) in "one of the best-rendered rock documentaries ever made."
