Liars Announce North American Tour
As Drum's Not Dead prepares for a blistering March 21 assault on the American populace (having already ravished the UK February 20), Liars have announced a continent-spanning North American tour to survey the wreckage left in Drum's wake.The international jetsetting trio will set upon U.S. shores come May, march Sherman-style across the Southeast and beyond, before swooping up into Canada, taking a festival holiday in Spain, and then crash-landing back in the New World for more unbelievably intense noise-rock action. War may be hell, but noise-rock is ecstasy:
