Bates's family touring Rhode Island with louts from Newcastle? (9)

'louts from newcastle?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'bates's family touring rhode island' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'family' could be 'kin' (synonyms) and 'kin' is found in the answer.
'island' could be 'is' (geographical abbreviation) and 'is' is found within the leftover letters.
The remaining letters 'larr' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
