Fresh from their victorious coup at SXSW last week, Titus Andronicus found themselves on the frontline of a different battle Sunday night when they headlined Slim’s in San Francisco. The venue, which is owned by pop artist Boz Scaggs, is currently in the middle of its own fight with a neighbor over noise complaints.

Frontman Patrick Stickles didn’t tell that side of it to the audience. Instead, he genuinely asked if everyone was enjoying the show and having a good time. He tactfully explained that an issue arose with the venue earlier in the evening and then he continued to apologize to the staff, sincerely, for letting his emotions get the better of him during soundcheck.
