Kate Nash preps for North American tour

At long last, Paste darling Kate Nash has made plans to launch a full tour of North America. We like her a lot, and so does the Brit Awards. Just last night she snagged the award for best British female solo artist, against the likes of KT Tunstall, Bat for Lashes, PJ Harvey and Leona Lewis.

Only two months into 2008 Nash has already been busy with writing her first children’s book. On Sunday she will start a 15-date tour of Europe before making her way across the pond to support her album, Made of Bricks, which released stateside Jan. 8.

Sponsored by NME, the tour will commence in the deep South on April 15. And once it is all said and done, Nash will circle back around the globe to play Pinkpop Festival, Isle of Wright, and Glastonbury Festival in June. Busy, busy, girl.
