I enjoyed Titus Andronicus/Control Top at Ottobar. Control Top were way better (to me) last night than at Black Cat over the summer (opening for Ted Leo & RX). They seemed tighter,more sure of themselves, ... Al and Ali in matching red suits, Ali in pasties with the letter "A" over one nipple, and "L" over the other to celebrate Al's birthday, and a barely secured jacket sometimes cover her up.
I love Titus, and Patrick was his usual deadpan funny, his brother (Brendan Stickles from Bethesda?) was on stage for part of the show adding some vocals and the intro/Abe Lincoln's address, to "A More Perfect Union." Chris Wilson is clearly my favorite drummer, and I was happy to see him again: That's 5 times this year: Titus twice, Hammered Hulls twice, and Ted Leo RX once.
