Indeed it seems you are right. Apologies for misattributing. Stupid hack.

Hmm, they seem to have renamed the band they're supporting: "...After that, it’s onto a tour with Shane MacGowan and friends."

I strongly suggest they get our name right before they report for work on March 3. We're a bit fussy about these things.


Not so fussy as to the point of being unfriendly I hope? In their Titus' defense by my reading it seemed to be the journalist and not the band that called the Pogues "Shane MacGowan and friends".


I see. I which case please forgive my careless reading. I'm in the middle of doing my tax accounts and am consequently in a foul humour. :oops:

Also from the artical......

Titus Andronicus 2011 Tour Dates:
02/10 – New York, NY @ Mercury Lounge
03/03 – Chicago, IL @ Congress Theatre *
03/04 – Detroit, MI @ Royal Oak Music Theater *
03/07 – Baltimore, MD @ Rams Head Live *
03/08 – Washington, D.C. @ 9:30 Club *
03/11 – Boston, MA @ House of Blues *
03/12 – Boston, MA @ House of Blues *
03/15 – New York, NY @ Terminal 5 *
03/17 – New York, NY @ Terminal 5 *

Is this a typo or does this mean they won't be supporting on 3/16 ?

Titus Andronicus’ bassist departs

I can't recommend them highly enough. Their most recent album, The Monitor, is phenomenal -- a concept album that uses imagery from the US Civil War to describe the angst of growing up in modern New Jersey. And it's only their second album, making it a pretty audacious effort. It's my top pick of 2010, by far.

They're a very good band.


Indeed. I've been hoping to catch them on tour anyway, so I was thrilled to hear that they'll be opening for the Pogues in DC, especially since I'd already gotten my tickets.

Anyone who hasn't heard them should go to YouTube right now and listen to the first track off their new album:

I gave them a listening. I suspect they are a Spider find, most assuredly. I will enjoy their thrashing entirely.

My point exactly.Just what do expect from a support slot.

Not sure what a new band has to do to impress the xfactor generation but they looked like a good new up & coming band.
Keep on keeping on to them. Yes would have liked to see a big name like DKM , Billy Bragg or a pogues freindly band like Marseille Figs or Urban Voodoo Machine
but a buy support like this is well worth the extra couple of pence on the price of a pint.


Sparrow and the Workshop got this tour entirely on merit and we rate them highly. It's been a pleasure to have them along.

Been to see The Sawdoctors a good few times in this country and a few others both as a support & headline act but think they are not suited to a Pogues support slot .So much of a good Sawdoctors gig is the audience response that needs a time to respond .In the support slot a band is too rushed for time.
A support band set tends to be rushed and often ignored.Sawdoctors set was too rushed . A big name band is not always the answer . Billy Bragg and TMTCH will always be the best support slots.

I've never heard of Scooped on Facebook. Do they play trad? Sounds kinda techno.

Surely the ticket price in todays economy just about covers the heads of the Pogues? Also as they only really tour the UK once a year, I'm more than willing to pay just over thirty quid. A band like Kings of Leon's going rate is about £55 excluding charges just now. Although I have to say I'd love to see a band like Dropkick Murphys or Flogging Molly support The Pogues.
