Mates of State played Rough Trade with Hollerado (who are on tour) (pics)

Indie pop duo Mates of State played a one-off NYC show at Rough Trade. With no new record to plug (last year’s You’re Going to Make It EP is their most recent), it was a low-pressure, high enegy set which included “Staring Contest,” “Rearrange Us,” “Get Better” and a cover of Nico’s “These Days.”

Also on the bill: Toronto’s underrated Hollerado who, have another NYC show this week at Mercury Lounge on Thursday (October 27) with another Canadian band, The Pack A.D, and Thick. Then they’ll be on the road later this year with another Canadian group, The Sam Roberts Band, and that tour hits NYC on November 29 at Bowery Ballroom. Tickets for both NYC shows are on sale now.

Pictures from the whole Rough Trade show (including openers Ula Ruth) are above and all Hollerado dates are listed below.
