State Line Empire returned to the Whisky A GoGo for an epic set

July 13, 2015

State Line Empire returned to the Whisky A GoGo this past Friday for an incredible set. They were opening for Adler and it was a packed house. Interesting enough, the first time I saw State Line Empire play was when they opened for Steven Adler’s previous band, Adler’s Appetite at the Red Devil Lounge a few years back. The venue was packed and the energy was overflowing as State Line Empire took to the stage. They completely rocked the house and sounded solid. Check out some photos from our Rockin Ryan of their set:   In case you missed them, we are pleased to announce that they will be returning to the Whisky on September 30th as they open for Marty Friedman. That is one show you are not going to want to miss! So make sure to get your tickets early.   Also check out a live footage video for Break Me Down when they performed in San Francisco at DNA Lounge: Visit their social media sites and stay up to date so you won’t miss [Read More]

Jimmy: Johnny had been toying with the idea of starting something new. Basically it all came together in one meeting. I knew none of the guys, we met in a coffee shop, stared at each other for a bit…an hour later we were writing music. DND: At what point growing up did you decide to [Read More]
