I am such a huge fan and was waiting for this moment to happen for a very long time. You can only imagine how fast my heart was beating when they came out on stage.
I stood there in awe before I could even start raging. Im so happy they played Human, definitely the highlight of the show in my opinion. I was able to record it all and have not stopped watching it since that night. Jahan also did her famous fuck the world act where she gets the whole crowd to put their middle fingers up in the air. The passion that these girls have is just so inspirational. I have to say I fell in love with Krewella that night a lot more.Īlive was the song that brought me to this beautiful group. Its honestly a song that has impacted me like no other song can. I remember listening to it for the first time on the radio. I was sitting at a red light and immediately turned the volume up when it was playing. So when they played this song at the show I sang my lungs out and truly felt ALIVE. ONE MORE SONG ONE MORE SONG ONE MORE SONG, I chanted as did the crowd when the Krew was done, and they did! Ahhh it was amazing. I am so glad I got to experience them and CANNOT wait to see them again at Sunset Music Festival. Its gonna be a weekend for the books I can tell you that. My name is Santos and I am one of Krewella’s NUMBER ONE fans. I say one of because I know there are many more. I just wanted to share my first experience with you guys and hope that you can get a feel for what I felt that night. #Krewlife till the end.Ī one way ticket, a c-note, and a ticket to Krewella’s show at Exchange in LA is all I had. If I was a rationalist, going out on a limb would be an illogical move to make.
You lose a little sanity trying to overcome the struggle in a world of oppression. You lose a little sanity in a world where you are your only supporter and only believer in the goals and dreams you have. But I decided to take a risk and I still don’t regret it. Surely, submerging myself into my one escape from the social constructs of reality have not worked out in my favor. I didn’t make my flight I didn’t make it to the show. And for the love of Krewella’s succession, I didn’t refund my ticket. I’m still California dreamin’ and might be for awhile. I don’t believe in destiny or fate ( the laws of attraction seem more appeasing) I’m still not sure what I would have done after their show in Cali. A shot in the dark and maybe I meet Krewella and tell them my story in hopes of getting some type of help. Realistically, who am I kidding? Almost a year later, and I’m happy as fxxk, aware that they are now a household name. I have a lot of admiration for Yasmine and Jahan. The fervor they carry in being outspoken, socially conscious human beings, well that alone is the reason they have my utmost respect. Two women who will always have my support, for empowering themselves (in a male dominated scene and society) and who are inspiring the likes of many who are getting the motivation to speak up and empower themselves.
My art, my music, and my personal endeavors are not over, one day I’ll make it to Cali. One day I might make a difference in someone’s life. So my Krew story is binded with lots of passion. It all started when I heard Alive on the radio (B96 to be exact), and they were announcing Krewella as a group that started in Chicago.
