Dear UK friends,

If you have ever been to a Titus Andronicus concert or read a Titus Andronicus interview, you have probably heard us deliver a lengthy monologue on our favourite topic, how we don't have any money. The cruel realities of life in our modern economy have forced Titus Andronicus to adopt a philosophy of extreme frugality, "jamming econo," as the Minutemen used to call it. The first thing that has to be sacrificed to live this lifestyle? Hotels!

As you may or may not know, we are heading out on a rather extensive tour of the UK later this month, and would really fancy coming over to yr house after the show and sleeping on the floor. Thus far, thanks to the assistance of Gareth from Los Campesinos! (yes, he thinks we are cool - let that colour yr perception to whatever positive end it may), we have lined up a few evenings of accomidations, but still desperately need yr help in the following cities on the following days.

5/14 - Brighton
5/15 - Brighton *
5/16 - Southampton
5/18 - Oxford *
5/21 - Liverpool
5/26 - Glasgow *
5/27 - Middlesborugh
5/28 - Leeds *
5/30 - Sheffield

( Dates marked with a * are with the Soft Pack, if that is yr thing)

If you let us come over after the show on any of these days, we are willing to get you and a friend into the concert FOR FREE. We may also be willing to do some household chores - straighten up, wash the dishes, clean some windows, water houseplants, etc. In addition, we will entertain you with a bevy of jokes and delightful yarns. What beer the nightclub gives us, you may also have some access to. Basically, if you look after our sleeping, we will make sure that you have the most memorable and enjoyable concert experience possible. Sound fair?

There are just four of us. We are all well-behaved and polite. We promise not to make a mess. We require nothing more than a floor and a ceiling.If it is yr pleasure, we are happy to go to sleep as soon as we arrive. If you seek further partying, we are happy to do that also. I believe that you will find our company most agreeable.

PLEASE, if you are at all interested, please contact us via message at this MySpace or send an e-mail to TitusAndronicustheband@Gmail.com. We will be eternally grateful. Thanks very much in advance for yr consideration.


Yr friends,
Titus Anronicus

You are more than welcome to crash at my house after the Glasgow gig - unfortunately there's the issue that I stay in Edinburgh (about 50 miles away) and the last train is 11.30pm or bus is 12.00pm - so may not be ideal.

Got two small kids - so as long as the partying doesn't wake them, then you can party on as much as you wish - so if you guys are stuck, don't get a better offer and can make it to Edinburgh after the gig you can crash in the front room.

Iain

PS - Got the tickets anyway

That sounds like the most awesome thing ever. unfortunately the dates of your tour clash with what I think would be the whole countries/ teenage population end of year exam dates.

However, bringing light into a darkened situation, if you guys end up playing Reading Festival in the south east in the summer, It would be my honor, and privilege to offer you Saturday morning fry ups and showers. As its a pretty grimy festival.

But, anytime, in the future, if you happen find yourself in south east england you can come stay round mine!

The road for the economically challenged is a long one, that we know here at BRM. We're following you guys closely and we hope that your UK shows will be phenomenal, but come to New York so we can catch a gig soon... we eagerly await your witty monologues here in NY.

Stay in touch and keep making good music,

Man, I really want to see you guys but I can't afford to travel to Glasgow. I live in Aberdeen, which isn't actually that far away if you're driving....
you should try to fit a date in between liverpool and glasgow and play here.
and since the accomodation is a problem then you could stay at my house.

If you ever come to Germany (which you totally should) you can crash at my place. I know that isn't any help for the England gigs...sorry.
