So I'm a tremendous They Might Be Giants fan.

I repeatedly managed to miss their free concerts at the Hatch Shell, though many of my friends went and told me how great they were. I am not aware of them planning to have any more anytime soon.
Four years ago my housemates had extra tickets to a TMBG show, and wound up giving them to someone who barely knew the band because they strangely failed to realize I liked them.
Last year TMBG had a free concert at Brandeis, not two miles from my house, which was reputedly awesome. I of course had a commitment which could have been scheduled for any other time, had I but known in advance.
Yesterday tpau and msmemory happened to be near the Baltimore harbor just in time for TMBG to pop in and do yet another free concert.

They are definitely playing in Boston at some point on the tour that starts in July. Looking at the dates confirmed so far I have a suspicion that the performance here might be during Pennsic war week. That seems in keeping with my record.

Well, I had noted that they will have made it through most of their target cities by the 13th, the last scheduled show. Given that they hit the western shore at that point it seems most probable they will fly back to hit NY, NJ, etc., quite possibly immediately thereafter. If they do that then the tour would be just wrapping up by the time Pennsic ends on the 22nd.

For some reason I don't find their site all that annoying. Maybe because after it's loaded you can generally get to their content without jumping through very many hoops.
