Royksopp will on March 21 unveil a live EP, "Royksopp's Night Out," recorded last November in Oslo, near the duo's hometown of Tromso. The nine-track Astralwerks release is highlighted by a cover of Queens Of The Stone Age's "Go With the Flow" and also features such dance hits as "Poor Leno," "Only This Moment" and "Sparks."

Here is the track list for "Royksopp's Night Out":

"What Else Is There?"
"Only This Moment"

Liza Minnelli's 1972 album "Liza With a 'Z'" will be reissued March 7 via Columbia/Legacy. The original release, which served as the soundtrack to Minnelli's variety show of the same name, reached a career-best No. 19 on The Billboard 200.

In conjunction with the reissue, Showtime will on March 31 air the original "Liza With a 'Z'" broadcast and is also planning to release a DVD of the program.

Minnelli is gearing up for a nine-date European tour that will begin Feb. 13 in Munich. She will also perform April 29 in New Brunswick, N.J., as part of a benefit for the Cerebral Palsy Association of Middlesex County.
