Up from the 36 Chambers, The Wu-Tang Clan are planning to hit the road on a coast to coast U.S. tour in support of their most recent album, 2007’s 8 Diagrams (TMT Review). The hip-hop legends from Shaolin, better known as Staten Island, are starting their run in Portland November 29 and won’t be quitting until they get to Atlanta in 2009. The only lingering question now is whether or not all eight members will show up to the shows (though, I'd count these dudes out).
The tour is not only coming in support of their last LP, but also to help back a DVD the group released in early October, Live at Montreux 2007, which features the Tang performing at last year’s Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. On top of all that, the clan has recently approved a documentary set to air on BET on November 13 and subsequently be released on November 18 (TMT News). The documentary, Wu: The Story of The Wu-Tang Clan, will feature interviews and archival footage of each of the Clan’s members. Be sure to catch the group and the DVDs if you're not already completely broke.
