Mates Of Europe?

Indie rock's cutest couple [barely inching out the kinda-cute-but-creepy White Stripes], Mates Of State, are currently bringing their organ-and-drums goodness to some very lucky Europeans. They are touring in support of their new album "Our Constant Concern" [on Polyvinyl Records] which is hella good. They just finished a short stint in Germany and are now heading off to England and Sweden. They will get back to the States in mid-March and will be hitting the ground running, touring until mid-April. All the dates are below. If you want more info on the band, go to their webpage at Matesofstate.com.
