Ghost Town is an amazing band and also a group of guys who consider eachother family.

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.

When Colony House walked onstage the crowd, of course, applauded and cheered loudly. Colony House’s performance did not disappoint. Every member of the band danced around the stage with so much energy. Colony House warmed up the audience perfectly for the other outstanding performances later that night. The next band that took the stage was Drew Holcomb. Drew Holcomb did a fantastic job at keeping the audience’s excitement going after Colony House’s performance. With two bands down and two to go the audience was still dancing and having the time of their lives. The next band known as Switchfoot generated a larger audience. Even the photographers started to pile in to take photos during this performance. Not surprisingly, Switchfoot put on a fantastic performance that generated a feeling of positivity in the audience. Their performance actually contained the highlight of the night—By the end of the performance, as Switchfoot [Read More]
