The adorable husband-wife duo Mates of State are readying to be off again on another tour come this fall. They've got all sorts of great acts to join them along the way too, including Suckers , Other Lives , and Yawn . Touring begins in Washington, DC on September 21 at the 9:30 Club and conclude with an October 12th show at Webster Hall in New York City. Full schedule below. Mates of State tour dates: Dates marked # w/ Suckers Dates marked % w/ [...]
Facebook Sometimes I wonder if Mates Of State get tired of being described with various synonyms for "adorable", but if so they've no one to blame but themselves. Rather than release the black metal opus we all know they have in them, the husband-and-wife duo of Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel continue releasing records of irresistibly sweet and catchy drum-and-organ power pop, a trend that seems set to continue with the September 13 release of Mountaintops , their first album of original material since 20082s Re-Arrange Us [...]
Following last year's titillating "Summer Crushes" tour, Mates of State are jumping back on the road to support their first full-length LP in three years, Mountaintops . So far the plan is to drop the sword swallowers and contortionists of yesteryear to allow a more mild-mannered float into the fall. July and August are pretty slow for the modern pop duo, with only two gigs booked: Escape to New York in Southampton, NY and St. John's Block Party in Rochester, MN. However, after their seventh album drops [...]
How bout some good old-fashioned electro that doesn't sound like a trumpet having a seizure? Well, I proudly present to you Clouds, an electro DJ on Turbo Recordings. His Numbers EP has been getting a whole lot of attention in the electro circuit since its release, boasting support from big names like Boys Noize , Fake Blood , Tiga, Proxy, and Annie Mac. This EP is a welcomed breath of fresh air in a post-Dutch house era of electro house. The first track on the EP, Sucker , was featured on [...]
... our new way of dedication. Stereoliez came up with a new dnb track and I believe it's one of the best productions they ever made. Great atmosphere in this track! Stereoliez - Ghetto Fighters Download: Stereoliez - Ghetto Fighters (2) Krftkds lost the NEUS remix contest... but that ain't too bad for us. Their remix is now available as a free download! [...]
Photo of Saydi by me... Hello again & a happy friday to ya! For today's mixtape, we are going to do something a wee-bit different. Instead of bring you something new, I wanted to bring back something from last year. You see, in a few short tiny little days, my oldest bird is turning 18, a genuine, pasteurized, and certified adult. Nuts. I know it's a cliche to "awww, they grow up so fast!", but let me tell ya, my friends, they do. Seems like just yesterday she was that tiny little [...]
Tweet For those who know me, you know I’m not one for cleaning. My room in college was exhibit A, B, and C as far as non-cleanliness goes. Needless to say, my room was an absolute shithole as there was a constant flow of bros chilling throughout the day. But every once in a while I was forced to clean out the trash and tidy up the room to get ready for more crap to fill it. As spring is now upon us, it’s come that time for my music to get the same treatment. Here [...]
Cette tronche de Mandrillus sphinx (c'est pas un babouin ; oui, j'ai fait mes devoirs) est plutôt inquiétante, ne trouvez-vous pas ? Allez, je fais ma Houellebecq : "les mandrills vivant en groupes important et souvent dans un habitat forestier, il est difficile de connaître la position hiérarchique de l’ensemble des individus de la troupe" . Est-ce que l'un des membres de Suckers a entendu ça sur Discovery Channel un jour et s'est dit : "Hé, mais, héé, hé !" (j'fais ça quand j'ai une illumination, c'est mon eurêka à moi) ? En effet, sur [...]
@itspanamababy does his thing for MTV Sucker Freestyle and spits a few free bars.

While Icelandic singer-songwriter, Emiliana Torrini, has been on the down low for awhile, she is back on the scene for 2011. Having just released a single for the new film 'Sucker Punch', I guarantee her albums will be more sought out. 'White Rabbit' is originally performed by psychedelic rock band Jefferson Airplane, but sounds even better with the vocals of Torrini. Her sound is completely unique, and combined with the retro sound of 'White Rabbit - It's fantastic. So check it out, and I really suggest downloading the whole 'Sucker Punch' soundtrack; it's AHmazing. But you can check out Emiliana Torrini [...]
Damn you Brooklyn! Why must you have such stupendous bands? Can't the rest of us share a little bit of that love? Well, actually we can because we get to hear the incredible meandering pop of Snowmine, who are set to release their debut LP, Laminate Pet Animal later this year. Listening to the first single, "Nervous" reminds me of what you would get if you crossbred Suckers with Grizzly Bear . I don't know, maybe that's lazy, but those vibrant melodies mixed with that [...]
Last night on Jimmy Fallon's late night program, Bootsy Collins sat in with T he Roots to perform one of Parliament 's hit singles "Tear The Roof Off The Sucker". Man, this track really reminds me of my college days (and that isn't some cheap reference to PCU either.) Filed under: Music , WATCH THIS Tagged: Bootsy Collins , FUNK , live , [...]
I’m a sucker for looped music, and this song is seamless. Float away…………… Download: Monster Rally- Rainbow Rd.
Every street bomber worth his salt will have a juicy little collection of markers, but Toronto's Allister Lee has the most ever.

As usual RAC takes great songs and creates something new and equally as great, sometimes better. Standout tracks for us are the [...]
This photo was taken with my awesome new Diana Mini camera! As for the music, Charlie Darker sneaked his new chillwave-y track over to my inbox. I stumbled across this ultra lo-fi gem from Young Minds . And finally, RAC have put out their 2nd remix album on soundcloud. You should go listen to it.....I'll wait.....
