The Summer Crushes Tour 2010

Mates of State are going out on a 27-date US summer tour! Tickets go on sale in select cities tomorrow, April 21, and the rest this Saturday April 24 for what will be known as “The Summer Crushes 2010 Tour”.

The Summer Crushes 2010 tour will feature Free Energy, comedian Todd Barry on select dates, comedian Nick Thune on select dates, and special variety and sideshow acts to boot. We intend for this to be the most extravagant Mates show ever! We’re talking live magic, sword swallowers, human blockheads, contortionists, and much more. On top of all this, Jason and Kori will be DJ’ing post-shows. It’s going to be a fun party, folks, and you all are invited. Dates and ticket info below.

Also, a big thank you to all of you who signed up to receive “Laura” as a free MP3. If you didn’t get it and still want it, head on over to the homepage. More news on the release of Crushes (The Covers MIxtape) and additional tour information to come in the following weeks…
