They Might Be Giants - 1983 Demo Tape
They Might Be Giants - 1983 Demo Tape Classified as the "original demo", its existence was first made publicly clear through a 2008 podcast episode by They Might Be Giants, which included five songs from the original demo. Not much is known about it, but what is known is that the tape was possibly sent to Hilly Krystal, the owner of CBGB, a club that the band originally performed at. The tracklist is not entirely known, and tracks could be out of order. It is also unknown how many tracks are on the demo exactly, although it has been hinted that Cabbagetown and Cowtown were on here originally as well in their original forms. — Recordings sourced from Then: The Earlier Years and the TMBG Podcast; "Weep Day" has been edited to feature the opening bongoes missing in the Podcast mix — TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Now That I Have Everything 2:18 - Weep Day (Demo) 4:08 - Sally Boy Candy Bar 6:34 - Hell Hotel (1983 Demo 1) 8:32 - I'll Remember 3rd Street
