The fact that They Might Be Giants began recording children’s albums last decade didn’t come as much of a surprise to many of the long-running alternative group’s fans. After all, some of those fans were introduced to the band through the afternoon cartoon “Tiny Toon Adventures,” which created kid-friendly videos for the band’s smack-happy songs “Istanbul (Not Constantinople)” and “Particle Man,” and many of the group’s songs have a goofy, kid-friendly sense of whimsy. Now the band is reaching a new generation of children with their recent work. On Nov. 27, they'll release their latest family album, Why?, which touches on marriage equality and diversity, and today they released the first single from that album, a quirky track called "Or So I Have Read" that you can stream below.
They've also announced a tour, which will return them to Milwaukee on Saturday, March 19 at the Turner Hall Ballroom. General admission tickets are $27.50 and go on sale Friday, Oct. 30 at noon.
