Almost a year to the day, the Wu-Tang Clan will return to Minneapolis for a Jan. 7 show at Epic in downtown Minneapolis. One big difference this time: The group's figurehead, RZA, is expected to join his fellow Clan members. The RZA was absent last time around, presumably filming his upcoming directorial debut, "The Man With the Iron Fists." The martial arts epic stars Russell Crowe, Lucy Liu, Rick Yune and Pam Grier.

All remaining eight members will be in attendance: Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, GZA, Masta Killa, Inspectah Deck, U-God and the RZA.

Tickets for the show go on sale today and are $30 general admission and $45 VIP. Available online at www.thepartier.com and www.epicmpls.com or at various record stores.

Here's some old-school Wu to tide you over till January:
