Titus Andronicus @ NYU Strawberry Festival – 5/9/14

Titus Andronicus headlined NYU’s free, afternoon Strawberry Festival this past Friday (5/9) with a set that included a few favorites (“A More Perfect Union,” “In A Big City”), a cover of The Stones’ “Gimme Shelter,” and a lot of new material off the upcoming rock opera the band have been talking about. Pictures of their set are in this post and on Facebook. The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die also played and pictures of their set are HERE.

Titus next play NYC during the Northside Festival on June 12 at Warsaw with Eagulls and Low Fat Getting High. Tickets for that show are still available, or you can also try to get in with your Northside badge.
