Liars to play Australia in May

The Liars are set to play Australia for some set dates. No New Zeland dates confirmed as yet.

A change in the physical and emotional landscape can have a powerful effect on creative minds.

For Liars, the experience has proved extremely fruitful, expanding their audio-visual ambitions enormously on their magnificent third album. Drum’s Not Dead was partly inspired by the band's relocation from New York to Berlin. It finds Aussie native Angus Andrew, Aaron Hemphill and Julian Gross taking another seismic step forward, switching continents and seizing new musical territory. It's their finest and fullest album to date, shredding all past reference points. The Atlantic Ocean certainly has put clear, blue water between Liars and previous NYC scene labels.

Drum’s Not Dead marks a major shift for Liars to rank alongside Brian Wilson's wilder sonic journeys, or Radiohead's embrace of experimental abstraction. Tracks like "Drum And The Uncomfortable Can" build to a symphonic crescendo of brooding and brutal intensity. Yet the album ends with "The Other Side of Mt. Heart Attack", the most perversely conventional and unashamedly beautiful Liars track ever written, the calm after the storm, quietly moving and totally unexpected. This is one epic musical voyage from cacophony to catharsis, rich in mirth and menace, the sound of a band redrawing their own creative horizons.

Liars come to Australia for two very special shows in Melbourne and one in Sydney in May…
