ZZ WARD
zzward.com
Zsuzsanna Ward, aka ZZ Ward, has sold out all her shows on this current tour as she heads down to SXSW. ZZ is stopping by Minneapolis' Varsity Theater this Friday, February 22nd. We are covering a few shows this Friday (Emily is doing Eels and I'm covering Painted Palms), but I'll swing by to catch ZZ.
ZZ Ward is currently on tour in support of her debut album, Til the Casket Drops (released last October via Hollywood Records).
NOTE: Six-piece rock group Delta Rae is co-headlining with ZZ Ward on most dates, but not the Minneapolis show.

ASH
ash-official.com
Sure, I mentioned Ash last week, but today, they released the official SXSW shows and "mini" tour dates - which looks like they are catering to the mid-west (Chicago, Minneapolis).
If I have some spare cash, I will likely pick up their A-Z tri-color vinyl (I already own all the MP3s, but I still like to physically touch my music) when they come to Minneapolis. Yes, we are fans.
Confirmed tour dates:
03/12 Dallas TX / Cambridge Room
03/13 SXSW - Buffalo Billiards
03/15 SXSW -- BD Riley's / Full Irish Breakfast
03/17 Chicago IL / Lincoln Hall
03/18 Minneapolis MN / Varsity Theater
03/20 Detroit, MI / Magic Stick Lounge
03/21 Newport, KY / Southgate House
03/22 Indianapolis, IN / Radio Radio
03/23 Pittsburgh, PA / Altar Bar
