I guess I've been into 20 year anniversaries lately...
Apart from one song used in “Two of Us,” this 5 camera shoot of Mates of State at Emo’s on February 1, 2002 has never been seen outside of the broadcast area of the Austin Music Network (RIP) except for a few times in 2002 and 2003.
Five brave Hooked on Sonics camera (miniDV) operators and one meticulous sound recordist got as close as they possibly could to capture this breakout duo explode into song after song…only pausing briefly to blow out the candles of Jason’s birthday cake.
It was this concert, I believe, that convinced Jason and Kori to take a chance on me to make a documentary about their unique bond of love and love of music.
