Liars

Before the band took stage, Liars' Aaron Hemphill was getting Prince tattoos on his fingers in the green room. This say to me that they are massive Prince fans, and playing at the legendary First Avenue's


LIARS

iarsliarsliars.com

I'm No Gold is the new single (out November 4th on Mute Records) by Liars.
The song is taken from Liars' latest album Mess.

We saw the band live in Minneapolis in 2012 in support of their then-album WIXIM, and I noted that the band are massive Prince fans... even getting tattooed for the special occasion. Plus, the entire crowd was moshing and dancing to all the three-song encore.

I'm No Gold is out now.

Tracklisting:

I'm No Gold - Daniel Miller Mix

B-Side - Poison Bender

I'm No Gold - Nest Of Teens Remix

I'm No Gold - Album Version

C-Side - At The Mercy Of Her Mind

I'm No Gold - Thanks For The Remix Remix

I'm No Gold - Instrumental
