The Twitter feed of Titus Andronicus, at the helm of frontman Patrick Stickles, was full of a particular kind of outrage today when reporting on the band's show with the So So Glos in Athens, GA last night at the Theatre Rooftop. According to Stickles, who is not one to shy away from controversy or outbursts on his Twitter page, an audience member brought several confederate flags to the show and then apparently distributed the flags to audience members during “More Perfect Union”. Stickles took this opportunity to light the flags on fire and attempt to ingest them. The account from Stickles is below, after which he points out that he it'll be a long time before they play any more shows in Athens.
Some dumbass prick thought it'd be funny to distribute Confederate flags during “More Perfect Union,” at which point I got mad enuff 2 kill
