I like YOU crazy

Here's my huge Mates of State post.

PS: Their new album is out today!!!!!!!

I got a text from my friend Emily last evening saying that Mates of State was going to be on Conan in less than an hour. I was already in bed, so I missed it. Here is the footage from their performance last night:

Now, as many of you may not know, Mates of State has been my long-time love. I might even go as far as to say that they are my favorite band...ever. Now that's really saying something coming from me. (I even have a signed copy of their vinyl record Team Boo which was given to a friend of mine years ago when Mates of States accidentally ran into their car in a parking garage). Anyways, since this duo (Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel) teamed up, and got married, they have produced four records, and two children. They have a blog, where they post funny videos of their children, growing up on tour, pictures, and the like. Here's a picture of them filming their latest video:

We loved the idea of having us both playing in these enclosed boxes while balls filled up around us. Only, once we were in them, we couldn't get out for hours.
Breastpump to the rescue! I literally looked like an art installation on modern day maternity. I had to stop the shoot and have my pump handed to me through the roof of the box. Then, I sat in there pumping away until I had a whole bottle of milk to pass back over the box so my sister could give it to June.

So, my advice: Check out the blog, buy the new CD, and you will NOT be disappointed!
