It's been buzzing for a while in the Netherlands... De Staat are rocking their way through de Popronde and at the same time the rest of the world found their MySpace, finding out this is something different and special.
The record, Wait for Evolution, isn't even out till January 2009, but the band are playing abroad already. De Staat will be supporting dEUS in Dublin, Manchester and London. And then head back to Groningen to continue de Popronde at Vera.
