It’s been well-publicized that Titus Andronicus has had a lot of band members come and go over the years. Expectedly, their touring lineup keeps on changing as well. Most recently, the band went on an “acoustic” tour as a guitar and piano duo, in support of their recent “ballads” album A Productive Cough. But now, the band that didn’t actually break up is getting the band back together for a good, old-fashioned four-piece rock and/or roll “electric” tour!
In celebration of the boys being back in town, Titus Andronicus have shared the third installment of their ongoing regular-sized mix tape series. Officially dubbed, Titus Andronicus Mixtape Volume III : A Reductive Scoff, it collects demos and outtakes from the A Productive Cough recording process.
Once the band wraps up their remaining “acoustic” shows in the UK and Ireland, the tasteful and descriptively named “American Rock Band Tour” will begin in October in New Haven. Support on certain dates comes from a solo Ted Leo, crossing paths with Titus Andronicus as he tours behind his own album, last year’s The Hanged Man.
Check out all of Titus Andronicus’ upcoming tour dates and listen to A Reductive Scoff down below. (A Productive Cough is and has been out now on Merge Records.)
To paraphrase Grand Funk Railroad: “Coming to your town, helping you party it down, it’s an ‘American Rock Band Tour,’ plus like 11 ‘acoustic’ shows, two of which are already sold out.” Man, what a jam! Ahhh. Anywayyyyyy…
