i am offended by the existence of this band, and the exposure they got from pitchfork that they in no way deserved. oh well. have fun, kids, but please, go back to new jersey (maxwell's isn't far enough).

Have you ever listened to them? Probably not.

"please, go back to new jersey "

Where are you from mr elite location person?

Posted by Anonymous | September 5, 2008 2:19 PM

alright alright, let's not get into the elitism argument, i've had enough with the rnc already. further, anyone who likes titus andronicus is stupid, regardless of their location.

Fiasco sucks.

Nepotism at its worst!

I happen to run one of the clubs Fiasco plays, and yes, I give them all ages shows because I love Steve Buscemi, and I love to see him in my club. But they are nice kids. They cant play worth a damn, but they are as nice as any other 16 year old punk group. So give the kids a break.

All of the clubs in NY book them for that reason. Big surprise!

Posted by Anonymous | September 6, 2008 10:48 AM

aw i wish i could catch TA in LA but the truth is it's kind of random whether they put on an excellent show or a mess of a show, not consistent at all.so no point going all the way out to LA. you new yorkers should go though. i love them, great album.

They make cool flyers!

You've really got nothing better to do with your time, do you?

what club do you happen to be in charge of?

Posted by Anonymous | September 6, 2008 1:32 PM

Titus always rocks live!

Remember Titus Andronicus!!

Anyone who thinks fiasco sucks should stop pretending to like music.

Posted by Iheartstevebuscemi | September 6, 2008 2:38 PM

Titus Andronicus is friggin amazing, they put on an awesome show (and are definitely NEVER boring).

i guess if you must hate something for people liking something, that's ok-- but i can't think of a more deserving and thoroughly unpretentious band.

Posted by TAfanboy | September 6, 2008 5:47 PM

Titus Andronics is friggin horrible, they put on a terrible show (and definitely ARE boring AND monotonous). They're singer can carry a note to save his life. It's really sad.

This band is HARDLY deserving.

Posted by Anonymous | September 6, 2008 6:55 PM

They are better than Fiasco! That band really sucks.

Posted by Anonymous | September 6, 2008 8:17 PM

10:45, you clearly run the worst club in NY then. where does fiasco mostly play? market hotel, death by audio, silent barn, etc. i highly doubt it's the "owner" of any of those places

plus, the just got back from a 2-week tour

Posted by Anonymous | September 7, 2008 12:47 AM

both of these bands write great songs and have amazing energy. above all, they deserve their sucess. i saw them play together at the knit, it was fantastic.
10:45 obviously owns a "club" that a) fiasco has never played at, b) is don hill's or some other awful venue of the sort, or c) doesn't exist and the poster is completely bluffing.
survey says....
C?
probably.

Posted by fiascoT.A.forever! | September 7, 2008 1:06 AM

Fiasco are not annoying, little, or brats.
They are definitely going somewhere in the music world, just wait!
Titus are pretty awesome as well- and the singer is good.Perhaps it's not to your liking, but he definitely has a voice that suits the music.
These groups are some of the best newer up and coming bands I could think of!

Posted by Anonymous | September 7, 2008 1:56 AM

Offended by the existence of a band?
My god, get a hobby or something.
Also, Titus rocks, I am curious to see what you do so well in your non-NJ locale that puts you in a position to be so offended.

Posted by Anonymous | September 7, 2008 2:45 PM

i caught the death by audio show, fiasco were phenomenal!
they have this unbelievable energy about them, it's like a spark... i can't describe it any other way then just to say SEE THEM LIVE!

TITUS AND FIASCO SUCK.

Posted by fiascofan. | September 11, 2008 4:08 PM
