Pharrell Williams' Neptunes spin-off, N.E.R.D., debuted new music from the trio's forthcoming third album, Seeing Sounds, on Thursday night (March 13) including a new single.
The trio -- comprised of Pharrell, Chad Hugo and Shay Haley -- performed several songs from the new album, mixed with some of their previous stuff including singles such as "Lapdance" and "Rock Star."
During their set at Austin, Texas' Fader Fort, N.E.R.D. debuted "Everybody Nose," which Pharrell revealed would be the first single from the upcoming album, according to NME.com.
"We're giving this to radio soon," Pharrell told the crowd, "so I thought we should give it to you guys first."
