Titus Andronicus have announced on their website that this coming spring will see them embark on a short tour with none other than Shane MacGowan and The Pogues — just in time for St. Patrick’s Day:

Speaking of beloved music from Ireland, we are thrilled beyond words to reveal that in March of the New Year, we will embark on a short tour supporting The Pogues, culminating in a St. Patrick’s Day concert in NYC. Wow, what to say about an impending honor such as this? I have read a lot in the papers that Titus Andronicus might very possibly get many of their ideas from the Pogues, and their is no denying a certain truth to these allegations.
