Product Description
The State premiered on MTV in 1993 and had a successful three-season run, garnering acclaim for its edgy sketches as well as the talented young comedians behind the show. After recording the series finale for MTV in July 1995, the group began working on a prime-time special for CBS called "The State's 43rd Annual All-Star Halloween Special."
The Halloween special aired on October 27, 1995, and garnered glowing reviews but, with the aid of little to no promotion by the network, ratings were low so CBS decided to cancel The State's upcoming New Year's special. Just months later, The State decamped to the Bahamas, where they spent two weeks in January 1996 recording an album for Warner Bros. Records at Compass Point Studio in Nassau. For reasons unknown, and much to the chagrin of The State's rabid cult followers, the album remained unreleased for 14 years.
The wait is now over as the fabled album, COMEDY FOR GRACIOUS LIVING, is now available. This "lost" album captures the group's bizarre characters, sharp wit, and absurdist skew at their hysterical heights. After the album, The State disbanded and members pursued individual projects, but have recently regrouped for several special performances, most recently at San Francisco Sketchfest. Many members of the group appeared together on film in Wet Hot American Summer, RENO 911!: Miami, and The Ten, and continue to develop a movie that stars The State.
