KATE NASH

Saturday: This 20-year-old British sensation has been compared to Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse. Yes, Nash sounds very British, like Allen, and she can be provocative, like Winehouse. But her songs on "Made of Bricks" are alternately cutesy and confrontational. She sings of her love of TV's "CSI" and cheese on toast and her dislike of a certain boy. Nash's sample-laden pop CD went straight to No. 1 in the U.K. last year but hasn't made a big splash in the States. (7 p.m. Sat. $15. First Avenue, 701 1st Av. N., Mpls. 612-338-8388.)
