In the midst of their two-month tour in support of their newest release, Mountaintops, Mates of State performed a three-day residency at the Book & Stage at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
The small Book & Stage bar may not be the typical local hot-spot for indie rockers looking to enjoy a set of synth-and-drum pop rock; however, with the husband-and-wife duo of Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel on hand, the casino’s free admission venue became jam-packed with dozens of enthusiastic fans, dancing and singing along. Mates of State played a total of six sets over three days, each an hour long, and it was clear that multiple audience members had taken in a number of those performances.
Heela Naqshband was on hand to shoot photos of the band’s first set of the evening on November 10th. Click here for exclusive video of their performance of “You Are Free.”
