New York transplants Liars, which now call Los Angeles home, are among the acts slated to perform at the Pitchfork Music Festival and Consequence of Sound reports that the dance-punk band has tacked on more dates to their schedule this summer. Liars performed a handful of dates in late April and early May and are padding their July 16 gig at the Pitchfork Festival with a string of concert dates. Fans with Liars tickets can see the band starting with a July 13 show in Minneapolis, Minn. at First Avenue.

Liars will perform in Madison, Wis. (High Noon Saloon); Milwaukee, Wis. (Turner Hall); Detroit, Mich. (Magic Stick); Newport, Ky. (The Southgate House); Nashville, Tenn. (Exit/TN); Bloomington, Ind. (Rhino’s Youth Center); St. Louis, Mo. (Bottleneck) and Lawrence, Kan. before wrapping things up on July 24 at Bluebird Theater in Denver, Colo. Fans can get Liars tickets online.

Liars’ stop at the 2010 Pitchfork Music Festival comes in between those days, and the three-day festival held at Chicago’s Union Park from July 16-18 will also feature performances by Broken Social Scene, Modest Mouse, Wolf Parade, Animal Collective member Panda Bear, Pavement, Beach House, St. Vincent, Local Natives and more.

Before hitting the road this summer, Consequence of Sound reports that Liars will release a new single Cialis Jelly off their latest album, Sisterworld. Titled “The Overachievers,” the single will arrive on May 25 and will be packaged with two new tracks: “Pleasure Is Boss” and “Only Sometimes.” The package will also boast a reinterpretation of the single by folk-rocker Devendra Banhart & the Grogs. Released earlier this spring, Sisterworld is Liars’ fifth studio album and features an experimental set of songs like album opener “Scissors,” “Scarecrows on a Killer Slant” and the title track.

Former art students and friends Aaron Hemphill and Angus Andrew moved back to New York after a stint out west in 2002, responding to a band’s want ad and meeting future bandmates, Nebraskans Pat Noecker and Ron Albertson. The newly-minted quartet took inspiration from the dance-tinged punk of U.K. acts like Gang of Four and released their debut album, They Threw Us All in a Trench and Stuck a Monument on Top via the indie label Gern Blandtsen Records in 2001. Not long after the album’s release, Noecker and Albertson exited the lineup and Julian Gross took their place. The now-trio recorded the second Liars album, They Were Wrong, So We Drowned, with lauded co-producer Dave Sitek and released the album in early 2004.

Next up, Liars crossed the Atlantic and took up residence in Berlin to record the ambitious concept album Drum’s Not Dead, which came with a couple of experimental short films created by the band and others. For their next release, an eponymous 2007 effort, Liars went in an entirely different direction with tight lyrics and a decidedly rougher sound. Liars was released in May 2007 by Mute Records and the band embarked on a global tour in support of the album, including gigs opening for the likes of Interpol and Radiohead. Sisterworld is the follow-up to Liars, and fans can hear tracks off both albums, as well as the rest of the band’s catalog, by seeing Liars this summer.
