The Felix Culpa {Farewell Show}

Originally I was going to publish this post in my pre-existing ‘live shows’ post but this particular show deserves its own post for a number of reasons.  I will start by saying that my writing skills are not always the best, they never were, but I will do my best to express the feelings I have for The Felix Culpa.

Besides the fact that my husband is the drummer I am so proud of each one of the Culpa boys.  I think these indivuduels are simply amazing people and even better musicians. Together they made an incredibly unique band that was driven with so much passion…but as we know that doesn’t mean everything in the music world these days.  They worked hard at what they did and unfortunately just came short of making their dreams come true.  With all that aside they still managed to touch so many kids with their music- and on December 9th a lot of you came out to show your respect, love and appreciation for this band.  It was an incredible sight to see so many kids singing their hearts out, for one last time, to their favorite band.

It was an overwhelming night that was full of so many feelings that has left me dumbfounded.  All I can say to you guys is:

Thank you so much for making music that matters!  Music that is complex and driven with passion.  That is so rare these days, and I cant tell you all how much I will miss your music, shows, and energy as a band.  I have so many wonderful memories that came along with the journey of The Culpa.  I am proud to say you are all my friends and even more proud of the music you made!

I love you boys!

I was hesitant to enter The Metro the 9th of December… because it meant that it was one step closer to the Culpa ending.  But I walked in with a smile on my face, knowing that the night ahead of me would be a night I would never forget, slapped my backstage pass on my leg and began to soak in all that the night had to offer.  The line up was perfect with friends from El Oso, Sainthood Reps, and Monday’s Hero reuniting- it simply was a night to remember.  Thank you allfor making this night so incredible. The first round of chills started with their sound check…

Then it was GO time!

Having Jakey fly in from Puerto Rico for the show was the cherry on top… with the bonus of hearing him scream along to some Culpa songs!

One of my favorite parts of the evening was standing on stage with these fellas and seeing the joy and love they have for their friend’s band, The Felix Culpa!  They huddled around with arms linked and mouths wide open singing along…it was picture perfect!

Due to the fact that I shot a lot of video at this show I plan to update this post with some live footage- so please check back soon.  Till then feel free to leave some kind words bellow about this post and The Culpa’s last show
