Titus Andronicus, forever.
TITUS ANDRONICUS is headlining this year’s Rest Fest on August 27th and 28th at St. Joe’s in Albany! Day passes are still only $15, full weekend $20.
That’s an absolute freaking steal considering all the awesome acts playing that weekend. And especially TITUS ANDRONICUS.
Did I mention TITUS ANDRONICUS is headlining?
Also headlining is Deer Tick, who themselves have quite a following (and are one of NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams’s favorite bands). What I’ve heard of theirs I like, but TITUS ANDRONICUS is a personal favorite of mine. Which is why I keep writing TITUS ANDRONICUS in all caps.
They join The Music Tapes and A Hawk and a Hacksaw as the main out-of-towners for the festival, which also features the best local acts you’ll find: Sgt. Dunbar and the Hobo Banned, Red Lions, We Are Jeneric, Scientific Map, Matthew Carefully (with the Undone Ensemble), Scientific Maps, the Stomping Jug Ramblers, Barons in the Attic, Swamp Baby, Alta Mira, Slender Shoulders and more!
After the jump: preview the lineup with tons of music videos & live performances from Deer Tick (live on Letterman), Titus Andronicus, A Hawk and a Hacksaw, the Music Tapes, Sgt. Dunbar, and Alta Mira.

STALK ME
We just discovered Deer Tick. My husband’s current favorite band and biggest phobia.
They’re one of those bands that I know I’d love but just haven’t gotten around to. I’m sure like so many others I’ll sheepishly get into them further down the line and keep mum about it in the hopes I don’t embarrassingly reveal myself as a Super Johnny Come Lately in front of people who have known of this from the get-go (see also: My Morning Jacket, The Smiths, Pavement, etc.).
Deer Tick’s guitarist is formerly of Titus Andronicus
John – I did not know that! Just read up about it. The weird thing is that supposedly it wasn’t a case of him leaving Andronicus for Deer Tick, but that he left the band due to family issues and then later on just kind of fell into the Deer Tick gig. Now they’re co-headlining Rest Fest. Wild stuff.
Didn’t you mean DEER TICK and titus andronicus?
TITUS!!!!!!!!!
I KNOW!!!!!!! :D
