SUMMARY:Mpls: They Might Be Giants at First Avenue (Oct 1\, 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Explore More\n■ They Might Be Giants\nThey Might Be Giants (TMBG) is an American alternative rock and children’s band formed in 1982 in Brooklyn\, NY\, by core members John Flansburgh and John Linnell. Initially a duo\, the band expanded in the early 1990s and is known for satirical\, offbeat music blending punk\, polka\, and vaudeville. With 23 studio albums\, including their 1986 debut and 1990’s Flood\, TMBG wrote the Malcolm in the Middle theme and won a Grammy for “Here Come the 123s”\n\n\nFor a limited time\, you can grab They Might Be Giants’s Flood Live In America digital download for free via their website www.TMBGshop.com.  Read our review of their latest album\, The World Is to Dig.\n\n\n          They Might Be Giants       \n\n\nDespite being delayed for a over a year\, that was fun to see TMBG play Flood in Oct 2022: “The other thing is that they decided to play Flood\, but in completely random order and out of sequence. Which is fine\, as I recently played the album on shuffle mode and it had the same effect. Each song stands on its own\, they’re all good. Even so-so song “Sapphire Bullets of Pure Love” had something new to offer. The band played this song backward\, in real time. They would play back the video in reverse during the intermission and it sounded pretty good! Even though they jokingly said\, all we would hear is “Satan Join Us”. I thought I knew the Flood album from start to finish\, so it was also a nice surprise and refreshing to hear a brand-new set of lyrics for “Road Movie to Berlin”\, featuring the line about “the king of liars”. It does throw you off to hear something new\, and now that I’ve heard it\, I wish that was the full song on the record.”\n\n Tour Dates\n\nMay 15 Union Transfer @ Philadelphia\, PA\nMay 16 Union Transfer @  Philadelphia\, PA\nMay 17 Union Transfer @ Philadelphia\, PA\nMay 28 Brooklyn Steel @ Brooklyn\, NY\nMay 29 Brooklyn Steel @ Brooklyn\, NY\nMay 30 Brooklyn Steel @  Brooklyn\, NY\nJun 5 Citizens House of Blues @ Boston\, MA\nJun 6 Citizens House of Blues @ Boston\, MA\nSep 24 Pabst Theater @ Milwaukee\, WI\nSep 25 Pabst Theater @ Milwaukee\, WI\nSep 26 Barrymore Theatre @  Madison\, WI\nSep 27 Barrymore Theatre @  Madison\, WI\nSep 29 The Truman @  Kansas City\, MO\nOct 1 First Avenue @ Minneapolis\, MN\nOct 2 First Avenue @  Minneapolis\, MN\nOct 3 The Fitzgerald Theater @  St Paul\, MN\nOct 4 The Fitzgerald Theater @  St Paul\, MN\nNov 6 Emo’s Austin @  Austin\, TX\nNov 7 Emo’s Austin @ Austin\, TX\nNov 8  Emo’s Austin @  Austin\, TX\nNov 10 The Heights Theater @  Houston\, TX\nNov 11 The Heights Theater @  Houston\, TX\nNov 13 The Echo Lounge & Music Hall @ Dallas\, TX\nNov 14 The Echo Lounge & Music Hall @  Dallas\, TX\nNov 19 9:30 Club @  Washington\, DC\nNov 20 9:30 Club @  Washington\, DC\nNov 21 9:30 Club @  Washington\, DC\nNov 22 9:30 Club @  Washington\, DC  \n\n\n\n\nSocial Share\n				Share on Add Us (Opens in new window)\n				Add Us\n			\n				Share on Instagram (Opens in new window)\n				Instagram\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n				Bluesky\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			More\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print\n			\n				Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n				Reddit\n			\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n				Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n				Tumblr\n			\n				Share on Threads (Opens in new window)\n				Threads\n			\n				Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on Mastodon (Opens in new window)\n				Mastodon\n			\n				Share on Telegram (Opens in new window)\n				Telegram\n			\n				Share on Nextdoor (Opens in new window)\n				Nextdoor\n			Like this:Like Loading…

SUMMARY:Jax: Vitamin String Quartet and Girl Named Tom at Florida Theatre (October 1\, 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Pop-culture-inspired instrumentalists Vitamin String Quartet (VSQ) have shared their classical take on SZA’s “Snooze\,” which arrives with a live performance video. It’s the latest offering from their forthcoming album VSQ Performs SZA\, out June 12 via CMH Label Group/Vitamin Records. Featuring hits from the R&B juggernaut’s catalog – including “Kill Bill\,” “Saturn” and “Nobody Gets Me” – the upcoming collection offers 13 string renditions that translate SZA’s emotionally rich songs into a vibe-forward\, cinematic string masterpiece. \nAlong with the new song\, VSQ has announced their “Crazy Ordinary World” Tour this fall with acclaimed vocal trio Girl Named Tom\, with both groups bringing their captivating arrangements to Nashville\, Atlanta\, D.C. and more starting on September 27 – see a full list of dates below.   \n“So happy we decided to cover ‘Snooze\,’” says Vitamin String Quartet violist Tom Lea. “I love how this arrangement blossoms like a flower. The lazy flow on this song translates perfectly for a string quartet\, and it takes on a beautiful new life beyond SZA’s world.” \nWith over 2 billion streams and over 1 million physical units sold\, VSQ is “altering the definition of classical music in the public record\,” according to Slate\, with Variety agreeing that they’ve “reached a mainstream\, global audience.” The quartet is fresh off high-profile placements in season four of the Netflix and Shondaland original hit series Bridgerton\, which featured their iconic reimaginings of Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control\,” Coldplay’s “Life In Technicolor\,” Third Eye Blind’s “Never Let You Go” and Paramore’s “All I Wanted.” They’ve performed some of their beloved renditions for The TODAY Show\, Jam In The Van and FLOOD Magazine.  \nAcross over 300 releases\, Vitamin String Quartet have produced cutting-edge string renditions of a highly eclectic mix of artists\, erasing boundaries between classical\, dance\, hip-hop\, rock\, and pop. From Lil Nas X to Björk\, Studio Ghibli to My Chemical Romance\, VSQ approaches their renditions with respect and care\, breathing new life into music they already love.  \nThe group has recently been on a prolific creative streak\, releasing their vinyl-only compilation VSQ Performs The Weeknd earlier this year\, and 2025 releases include VSQ Performs KPop Demon Hunters\, VSQ Performs Billie Eilish\, VSQ Performs BLACKPINK\, VSQ Performs the Hits of 2025\, and VSQ Performs Frank Ocean. To date\, VSQ has had 11 Billboard charting albums\, with their 2024 release VSQ Performs Taylor Swift hitting #1 on both the Classical and Classical Crossover charts. \n“Crazy Ordinary World” Tour with Girl Named Tom: \nSeptember 27 – Nashville\, TN – Schermerhorn Symphony Center\nSeptember 30 – Tampa\, FL – Straz Center for the Performing Arts – Ferguson Hall\nOctober 1 – Jacksonville\, FL – Florida Theatre\nOctober 2 – Greensboro\, NC – The Carolina Theatre\nOctober 4 – Charlotte\, NC – Carolina Theatre\nOctober 6 – Wilmington\, NC – The Wilson Center at Cape Fear Community College\nOctober 7 – Washington\, D.C. – Lincoln Theatre\nOctober 9 – Lancaster\, PA – American Music Theatre\nOctober 11 – Atlanta\, GA – Atlanta Symphony Hall\nOctober 14 – Portsmouth\, NH – The Music Hall\nOctober 15 – Morristown\, NJ – Mayo Performing Arts Center\nOctober 16 – Great Barrington\, MA – The Mahaiwe Theatre\nOctober 17 – New Haven\, CT – Shubert Theater\nOctober 18 – Bethlehem\, PA – Musikfest Café\nOctober 20 – Columbus\, OH – Southern Theatre\nOctober 21 – Athens\, OH – Templeton-Blackburn Alumni Memorial Auditorium\nOctober 22 – Cincinnati\, OH – The Ludlow Garage\nOctober 23 – Wabash\, IN – Honeywell Center – Ford Theater\nOctober 26 – Skokie\, IL – North Shore Center for the Performing Arts +\nNovember 13 – Anchorage\, AK – Alaska Center for the Performing Arts +\nNovember 14 – Fairbanks\, AK – Davis Concert Hall + \n+ VSQ only \nSocial Share\n				Share on Add Us (Opens in new window)\n				Add Us\n			\n				Share on Instagram (Opens in new window)\n				Instagram\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n				Bluesky\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			More\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print\n			\n				Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n				Reddit\n			\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n				Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n				Tumblr\n			\n				Share on Threads (Opens in new window)\n				Threads\n			\n				Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on Mastodon (Opens in new window)\n				Mastodon\n			\n				Share on Telegram (Opens in new window)\n				Telegram\n			\n				Share on Nextdoor (Opens in new window)\n				Nextdoor\n			Like this:Like Loading…
