Hope everyone is doing well.   We have have been keeping busy and wanted to send an update.  It's been fun to get out and play the recent shows and we have a few more this year coming up.

the MP3 versions from  iTunes ,  eMusic , and other digital retailers.

The EP features four reinterpretations of tracks from Mates of State's 2008 release, re-arrange us, with contributions
from noted remixologists DJ Sega, Flosstradamus, The Mae Shi, and RAC.  The digital version also features a bonus track
remixed by our friend  Amp Live. 

There are still some copies of the 12" available in the Barsuk Records store. Packaged in a classic DJ white sleeve, the 12" EP
was limited to 1000 copies worldwide.

Later this week, Mates of State and Black
Kids kick off a US trek that runs the length of April. In celebration
of the double-barreled coast-to-coast barnburner, DJA of Mad Decent has
created a Black Kids vs. Mates of State mash-up, premiered by the folks
at RCRD LBL yesterday. Mates’ “Re-arrange Us” and the Kids’ “Look At
Me” act as source material for the bass-heavy mixture, available at the
RCRD LBL link below.
