While July may have mostly been a quiet month for They Might Be Giants, they're ending it with a bang. A new music video has been uploaded to the Family Podcast feed for "Davy Crockett (In Outer Space)." The video uses some great animation ideas including the use of chalk and felt with 2D and 3D effects. The song is included in the Disney Music Block Party CD, for which TMBG will be touring.
A new TMBG newsletter sent out today reminds everyone that they will begin this very Block Party tour this weekend and into next week in five shows. Not mentioned is that, due to Barenaked Ladies canceling their appearances, They Might Be Giants have added three additional dates on the kids festival in late August.
In non-Disney show news, the band used the newsletter to announce two free audience appreciation shows at the Mohegan Sun. As usual, TMBW has a big list of all of upcoming shows, so look for the locations nearest you.
Finally, the newsletter makes mention that Dan Miller was recently married. Making the rounds online is an article from The New York Times about the courtship and wedding. The article also includes links to a song written by Dan for his bride and another article concerning the wedding dress. Congratulations Dan!
