Named NUMBER ONE on the “Best Kids Bands of 2012” by Time Out New York

“…the unquestioned superstars of children’s music…”
– Time Out New York

Brooklyn’s beloved They Might Be Giants changed the face of children’s music in 2002 with the release of their first family album, No! The band teamed up with international children’s charity organization The Global Fund For Children and Emily Oberman of Pentagram NY this summer, asking people around to submit 3 photos – a portrait, their country’s flag & an image that represents their culture – via Twitter & Tumblr. The band received hundreds of submissions and feature quite a few in their new music video for the new extended version of “Alphabet of Nations.” All proceeds from limited edition “Alphabet of Nations” t-shirts & posters, go to the Global Fund for Children. Check out the new "Alphabet of Nations” video directed by Emily Oberman where it premiered with WIRED today or HERE.

After the release of No!, They Might Be Giants saw continued success in the world of kid’s music with 2005’s Here Come The ABCs and 2008’s Here Come The 123s, both which received GRAMMY nominations. Here Come The 123s went on to earn the band their second GRAMMY Award, for “Best Children’s Album.” The bonus extended version of “Alphabet of Nations” appears on TMBG’s new deluxe edition re-issue of No! in celebration of the album’s 10-year anniversary. Available via iTunes and all other digital retailers, the album contains seven brand new bonus tracks.

Fans in NYC will have several chances to experience the band’s explosive live show including three New Year’s shows at Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg and the “Freedom To Marry” benefit at Beacon Theatre alongside Rufus Wainwright, Doveman, The National & more.
