New York City's hottest rock club, the Temple of Dendur at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, will provide the backdrop for a concert by the punk-ish, dance-y, experimental-esque band Liars. The Met is selling this one pretty hard:

"Their embrace of interdisciplinary multimedia makes them much more than just a mere rock band. Liars' music can't be separated from the visuals that typically accompany each album; it's all about eluding expectations and sabotaging casual interpretation."

What better place for a few fine young gents to be elusive than in everyone's favorite reconstructed Egyptian temple? Next stop, Madison Square Garden! The concert takes place May 18 as part of the museum's "PUNK: Chaos to Couture" exhibition.
