Does there need to be a meaning to life? What if the universe we inhabit is ultimately absurd and irreverent? Who cares?

Titus Andronicus explores these themes heavily in their musical catalog, but don’t think that you’ll be force fed from a tongue-numbing reservoir of doom at their show. Absurdity and meaninglessness are two of the best reasons to party that I know of. Slap that together with agitated, baby-shaking punk music and you have yourself a recipe for a damn good time. Or certain death, but that’s up to your discretion.

Tonight, Titus Andronicus’ lyrics may rattle your little brain and make you think, but that doesn’t mean you should zone out into your tacky shoelaces. Listen, but shake your ass as well, ‘cause these fellas from Jersey will break down concrete walls with their aural artillery. 

Brooklyn’s psychedelic punkers Lost Boy ? will set the tone by taking the inane and bizarre factor from bubbly to brimming. Buffalo’s own Mallwalkers are in attendance as well, and also ready to jab things into high gear.

Who says that nothing happens on a Monday night(8pm, $14)? If you hear that sigh of despair breathe past your lips, you better get to the Tralf.
