I know Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel are supposed to be all lovey-dovey and stuff, but for a happy couple, they sure don't spend much time at home. Mates of State are one of those bands that are always on tour, and the next couple months are no different.

After a trek with Death Cab surrounding Lollapalooza, the couple will take a short break before heading out again with Barsuk labelmates Starlight Mints for a North American jaunt in September.

Hope they've got a good babysitter:
