The first of a double-whammy on a beautifully balmy July evening State proudly presented Waterford band O Emperor at Dublin’s Twisted Pepper.

Ahead of a show in The Academy the boys treated us to a typically superb performance of ‘Po’, ‘Into The Sea’ and ‘Don’t Mind Me’ and we’ve captured it here for your viewing pleasure.

#5 is on the way but remember to keep an eye on our Twitter feed for news of further State Interventions.
