Tori Amos is preparing to kick off her first tour with a full band on Saturday, and to unveil her first video from her upcoming album "From The Choir Girl Hotel."

As we reported last month (see "Tori Amos Sets Tour Dates"), Amos will launch her tour in Fort Lauderdale, Florida this weekend, and will then go on to play a handful of big city club dates before winding down in Los Angeles May 6. She promises that a bigger U.S. tour will follow this summer.
