Danny Weinkauf and the Red Pants Band

Danny Weinkauf plays bass and writes music for They Might Be Giants, but he’s something of a giant on his own, too. With his group the Red Pants Band, he recorded “No School Today,” an album that won a Parents’ Choice Award. This weekend he and the band will perform at Symphony Space as part of the Just Kidding series. Despite his album’s title, don’t be surprised to hear tunes about archaeology and spelling bees.
