MADI DIAZ
madidiaz.com
Playing with Madi Diaz is Gabby Young at 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis on September 1st, which should be a good time.
I was sent Diaz's Far From Things That We Know EP to listen to, which is coming out September 20th on tinyOGRE Entertainment. I really liked "Johnny", I'm looking forward to hearing that song done live. I thought Diaz's voice is lovely/sweet on all three tracks, just like the video for "Let's Go" by Matt Amato. Which.... admittedly I did not like the boring video.
Diaz kicked off a national tour last week with fellow Nashville songwriter Keegan DeWitt (you can grab two free songs at madidiaz.com/tour).
Look for Diaz's full-length to be out in early 2012, but I suspect you'll hear those unreleased songs on her tour:

*co-headlining with Keegan DeWitt
ATARI TEENAGE RIOT
atari-teenage-riot.com
The last time I mentioned ATR, I was rather excited that they've reformed last year.
With some tease to new material via mastermind Alec Empire's soundcloud account, it's about time that the noise artist is coming back with a vengeance! It's been a long ten years!

THAO WITH THE GET DOWN STAY DOWN
thaomusic.com
I know I've previously mentioned her September dates here, but I personally like her, I'm adding more dates (see below).
Among the new dates will be that they will be playing with Sub Pop's The Head and the Heart. New dates includes Minneapolis!
This is her fourth time in Minneapolis, her fourth time playing at the Cedar Cultural Center. She really LOVES the venue.
It's easy to see why, as I've previously mentioned, it's one of my favorite and best places to see live music.

Don't really know much about this band, but here's yet another Portland band. They seem quite new, having first started in late 2010 with a single called
Ffunny Ffrends via bandcamp - however, if you head over to
unknown-mortal-orchestra.bandcamp.com, there's nothing there.
According to their
press release, singer
Ruban Nielson is from New Zealand, but currently living in Portland with his band Mint Chicks.
They are doing a ton of tour dates, with a FREE show in LA at Bardot on 8/29,
RSVP here.
