Mates of State

Mates of State, the iconic indie band featuring married couple Jason and Kori, today announce a 17-show tour for this summer 2024 in conjunction with going back into the studio to record all new songs.

Mates of State garnered a rabid following beginning in 1998 and toured nearly non-stop for 15 years, performing all over the world including runs with NPR’s This American Life, The Postal Service, The Strokes, Jimmy Eat World, Santigold, and Death Cab for Cutie. They’ve also been seen on David Letterman, Coachella, Lollapalooza, Conan O’Brien, and Yo Gabba Gabba.

Since 2000, Mates of State have released 7 full length albums (on labels including Barsuk and Polyvinyl) while simultaneously starting a family of 3 daughters (!) who traveled the world with them on tour. The Mates paused touring for a minute to “give their girls a bit of an anchor through their teenage years” while continuing to write and explore to find their next musical phase. This new direction is coming to light and Mates of State are hitting the road hard with 17 shows in 17 days, no days off.

They also are currently recording a full-length album with long-time collaborator, producer Peter Katis, at Tarquin Studios in Bridgeport, CT.
