Someone give Titus Andronicus the award for Most Positive Band in the Universe already. After guitarist Amy Klein departed the band for solo projects , the band's luck continued to sour when during rehearsal at Brooklyn's Shea Stadium this past Wednesday, frontman Patrick Stickles was electrocuted by a faulty mic. But turning that frown upside down, Stickles used his subsequent seven-hour visit to the ER to write a new song, the aptly-titled "Electric Man". "We were playing 'No Future (Part I)' and I sang the first three verses, and then I went to play my [...]
Today, Pitchfork reports that Titus Andronicus frontman Patrick Stickles was pretty unhappy after learning Kurt Vile's song, "Baby's Arms," was used in a Bank Of America commercial. He ranted a...

La guitarrista/violinista de Titus Andronicus , Amy Klein , anunció que abandonó la banda de Nueva Jersey en buenos términos. Klein explicó las causas de su salida a través de su blog : "No hubo pelea ni nada –no hay fiestas salvajes, drogas, ni adicción al alcohol para despedirme- no hay historia dramática. Simplemente llegó mi tiempo para seguir adelante" . Además agregó: "no voy a dejar la música. Solamente voy a centrarme en mi propia banda a partir de ahora" . Ella actualmente está [...]
Sub Pop While far from the most earth-shattering reunion announcement by any popular measure, it was most pleasant and unexpected when word came last month that Scud Mountain Boys were getting back together for some shows in 2012. The Scud Mountain Boys, for those not in the know, were Joe Pernice's first band of note, an alt-country foursome that evolved from the rockier Scuds and preceded the more pop-oriented and only slightly less sad-sack Pernice Brothers. Their tenure ran from 1991 to 1997 and three albums, the first two of which - [...]

CMJ 2011 is over, so let the re-living begin. We bring to you a list of CMJ shows with the most memorable of moments.
Big day for Titus Andronicus . The news that Amy Klein has left the band came out this morning and this afternoon we get a look at their video for their Nirvana cover from SPIN Magazine's Newermind release earlier this year. I know some people over analyze Nirvana covers, but I enjoy this one. Titus have a shit-ton of energy on stage and in the studio, so they keep up with the pace of this classic tune. And the video is fitting for this time of year. Very Halloween, even if [...]
Photo by Philip Cosores In the wake of losing guitarist/violinist Amy Klein , Titus Andronicus have a few good pieces of news to announce, too. For one, the band has a new Twitter handle (Klein, apparently, was also the group's internet wiz). And, the group has a brand new video for their contribution to Spin's Nevermind tribute, "Breed," which you can check out below. Hopefully, this will remove a bit of the post-Amy Klein blues, as you get one last chance to see her with the band. Enjoy.

Shot before Titus Andronicus were Titus Andronicus sans guitarist Amy Klein , the music video for the band's cover of Nirvana's"Breed", from SPIN 's Newermind compilation , isn't as simple as it first appears. Filmed during the outfit's one-day stay at Marcata Recording in New Paltz, NY, the vid features the group cutting the track in various parts, with Klein playing the part of "The Ghost", haunting and antagonizing the band the whole time. Whether they meant to foreshadow Klein's departure or not, the band's stock in the Nostradamus game has steadily risen. Check out the [...]

Aunque los chicos de Titus Andronicus ya llevan bastante tiempo en los escenarios, tal parece que, como la tragedia shakesperiana de la que toman su nombre, su trayectoria no va a estar nunca exenta de pequeños baches y numerosos cambios. Ahora ha llegado el turno de agregar otro nombre a la larga lista de antiguos miembros de la agrupación, pues Amy Klein , mejor conocida como Amy Andronicus, acaba de anunciar que ha dejado el grupo de manera efectiva y para siempre. La guitarrista aprovechó su cuenta en Tumblr.com [...]
Titus Andronicus @ Glasslands - 10/18/2011 (photo by Andrew St. Clair ) All you have to do is look at Titus Andronicus 's Wikipedia page to see that the NJ band has gone though many lineup changes during their six years of existence. Ex-Titus members include Andrew Cedermark , Deer Tick's Ian O'Neil , and now sadly, Amy Klein . She writes : A Message to Titus Andronicus' Friends and Fans I just [...]
Amy Klein has officially left Titus Andronicus, claiming that it was 100% amicable. Despite only being in the band since 2010, Klein was a valuable asset to the band, so it will be interesting to see how both parties evolve after this. This is the full statement, which was poster on Klein's Tumblr : I just got back from my last tour with the band Titus Andronicus. Yes, it's true. As of today, I am no longer a member of the band.

Yesterday, Titus Andronicus guitarist Amy Klein announced that she was leaving the band to spend more time on her own music projects, which includes the duo Hilly Eye and Amy Klein and the Blue Star Band. She will be exceptionally hard to replace, especially from a cultural standpoint; something of a Riot Grrrl throwback, Klein has spearheaded feminist groups like Permanent Wave and has become an important voice for women in rock and art. Titus Andronicus isn't only losing a guitarist, they're losing a role model. Amy on her departure: [...]
I first heard Titus Andronicus after a pair of old roommates got home late from the bar one night and started blasting it throughout the house. My anger at being roused from a fantastic sleep quickly faded though as I stayed up and listened to "A More Perfect Union" through the floor boards at least three times. Deuce mentioned them once in his old weekly Sunday Spotlight post (bug him to bring
