Current album of the year standard bearers Titus Andronicus know how to put on a show. Michael Roffman left no superlative untouched when he reviewed their show in Chicago last April, and rightfully so. If you haven’t bought their latest album, the CoS Top Star garnering The Monitor, drop whatever you are doing, and go buy it now. I’ll wait.
You back? It’s pretty fucking superlative, eh? Therefore, setting all this chat aside, these Jersey boys and girl are hitting the road this summer, and you need to see them. Free Energy and Hallelujah The Hills joins them on select dates, and they kick the whole thing off this Saturday at Northside Festival in Brooklyn. (Do stick around and catch our equally superlative Consequence Of Sound showcase the following day!) As always, tickets are available at Ticketmaster.com, starting Friday, June 25th.
And if Mr. Roffman’s review doesn’t make you want to check out their live show, how about this video of them playing “Four Score And Seven” from their latest album in Hoboken (via TwentyFourBit)?
