Titus Andronicus have mapped out a 2023 North American tour in support of their latest album, The Will to Live. Alongside the announcement, they shared the new holiday single “Drummer Boy.”
After kicking off the trek in Pittsburgh on February 28th, Titus Andronicus will make stops in Chicago, Los Angeles, Vancouver, San Francisco, DC, and more before wrapping in Brooklyn on April 8th. See the full schedule below.
Tickets go on sale Friday, November 18th at 10:00 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster. Before the North American run, the New Jersey punks will tour across Ireland and the UK; grab your seats for those dates here.
Bandleader Patrick Stickles explained in a statement that he “connected the dots” about interpolating Billy Joel’s “Piano Man” with the Christmas standard “The Little Drummer Boy” several years ago, but “it got tossed onto the pile with so many of my other crazy ideas.” Recently, the band took two off days in Montreal to “grab the reindeer by the antlers and cross this one off the list, so as to avoid the pain of eternal regret.” He added, “I’ve noticed a lot of discourse recently about what constitutes a legitimate ‘parody’ lately, and I’d like to get a piece of that action.”
Stream “Drummer Boy” via the lyric video below, which doubles as a “fireplace for the home.”
