Mates of State announces "Summer Crushes" tour dates

Mates of State, the charming husband and wife duo from Kansas, are teaming up with up-and-coming bands Free Energy and Suckers along with comedians Todd Barry and Nick Thune for their “Summer Crushes 2010 Tour” in support of their forthcoming covers album, Crushes. And guess what? They have dates all over the country, so hopefully it’s somewhere near you. Oh, and this should excite you some:

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.

Crazy stuff happens when comedians and musicians collaborate!

    Wooooo! Thx for the reminder. I love MoS, can’t wait.

    …. I’m not really feeling Laura though. :(. Maybe I am too attached to the GIRLS version?

    Definite 🙁 , but I can understand with the original and all. I like it a lot, though. Took me a few listens but hooked now.
