These United States - new album, 2008 Tour Dates, MP3s
DOWNLOAD: These United States - Get Yourself Home (MP3)

DC/Kentucky band These United States released their new album Crimes on September 23rd. Grab two MP3's from it above. YANP points out that....
These United States are currently four guys that come from three of the best Lexington-related bands. Jesse writes the These United States songs, Mark plays as Vandaveer, and Robbie and Justin are two-thirds of Scourge of the Sea (and 100% of Fanged Robot). So if you're from Lexington, this is almost as much of a supergroup as the New Pornographers or Broken Social Scene. And even though they might not have a fraction of those bands' fame, to judge solely on Saturday's performance, they've already started playing with a level of energy that suggests that nobody bothered to tell them.NY's turn. These United States are in town to play two NYC shows - tonight (9/29) at Cake Shop and then Tuesday at Union Hall. If you miss them this time around, I believe they'll be back for CMJ. All tour dates below...

tUS is a damn sweet band! The cakke shop show tonight should be a pretty good one. Pepi Ginsberg and Backwords have great vibes as well - they are both from brooklyn and have a psych pop sound.

i saw them at a free show in dc this summer. i'd never heard their music before. it was so much fun. it was like a wild barn dance party. nice to see brooklynvegan giving some love to a dc band.

My favorite new band of the past couple years. If you haven't heard these guys check them out.

Does DC multiinststrumental powerhouse Tom Hnatow still play with these dudes? He was the other member of Scourge of the Sea. Kid is sick on slide/theremin.
