As the opening band at F*cked Up’s performance of The Chemistry of Common Life, Titus Andronicus performed their first set of Titus material since in the infamous appearance at the Vice Magazine Halloween Party.
Radio Flyer reviewed their set:
Fitting with their slightly cleaned-up appearance, Titus Andronicus have polished up their sound. Don’t think that takes off the edge, though. They are loud and fast and make me want to move to Ireland and go to a pub with people I will come to call “the lads” every night just so that we can stumble home shouting drunken renditions of every Titus Andronicus song we know. But Titus Andronicus has always been a technically sophisticated band and now their guitar-work can really shine. They’ve rearranged their songs to include some enormous, glittering walls of sound, some stunning embellishing riffs and some crazy, crazy noise. They are more loud and cool and fun than ever.
Acidjack recorded this set with a mobile rig from the middle of the floor of this venue of subpar sound. The recording is raw and somewhat boomy, but it sounds like it was — a punk show. Enjoy!

6 and 7 are the same song, “A More Perfect Union”. 11 is “No Future Part Two: The Days After No Future”. 12 is called “Titus Andronicus Forever”.
Love this band and they are definitely refining their sound in a good way but it’s a little disheartening they aren’t playing 1 new song in over 2 years.
Oh wait, apparently they are……….
Track 14&15 are also the same song “Fear and Loathing in Mahwah, NJ.”
Good recording. The band sounds good, still wish there were more new songs.
This is great! I’ve been itching to see Titus live so this’ll do til they come my way.
Any chance of getting the Fucked Up show too?
