A converted old movie theater, this Falls Church concert hall is one of the area's most versatile venues. The main level has tables and a general admission area. And from the seated balcony, you get an appropriately cinematic view of the stage. The State is home to local '80s tribute band the Legwarmers, who play a couple of sold-out shows every few months.
Sound is good, friendly staff, seating varies with artist but nice when they have the table seating available. I wish they would get more acts I like to see.
The music scene in the DC metro area sucks. Where are R.E.M, Al Green, Don Carlos, The Black Keys, Burning Spear, Kermit Ruffins, Trombone Shorty, on and on and on. In the mid 2000 this place was bubbling, then House music and Djs spinning took over...sucks I drive by the State Theater almost everyday and I see some weird artists names, even their posters look weird and archaic. This place used to be BUZZZIN and of course management and the Commonwealth of Virgina had to kill it.
