And just to supplement: the great Norwegian/Danish Raindogs - Celebrating Tom Waits. They will be playing concerts in 2013.

This is something completely different, but there's a Tom Waits pub crawl in Tønsberg in early May where there'll be loads of Waits tribute bands playing.

Also: The belgian band Dans Dans (with Lyenn (who made an album with Marc Ribot), Bert Dockx (Flying Horseman), Steven Cassiers (Dez Mona) ) is working on a new record wich is out in a few weeks. One of the songs is Tom Waits' "Yesterday is here". You can find a live version of the song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=1fERGcSUffA
