Eric Lindell Live at State Theatre

Eric Lindell brings his soulful blues rock R&B blend to Falls Church on Thursday.

Zoe, the alternative rock band from Mexico, took the stage Wednesday night in Falls Church.

The multi colored lighting thumped and changed hues to the beats of Zoe all night long at the State Theatre Wednesday. The young Latin crowd that filled the dance floor and tables seemingly didn’t want Zoe to leave, as they screamed and chanted the various countries that they were from. “Gracias, Washington and Virginia,” said León Larregui, the band’s lead singer, as the band first took the stage. “Washington” and “Virginia” were the only two words of English muttered by anyone in the band throughout the night though, as they performed all of their songs and addressed the crowd entirely in Spanish. Even the State Theatre workers rushing through the crowd, trying to keep people from snapping pictures after the third song (a rule of Zoe), …
