One of my favorite Seattle bands, Friends & Family, recently decided to bid farewell.

They played their last show on September 21st at Barboza in Capitol Hill.

I first saw them about 3 years ago in Ballard at the Tractor Tavern and was blown away.

At the time a friend of mine was in the band, and since then I've become friends with a few of the members.

Their last show was themed as if it were a wake. In between songs, a member of the band would share their favorite moment being part of the band. As always, they dressed accordingly: all in black. However, there was an appearance of a gold-glitter-filled-beard.

Although Friends & Family is no more, I know that some of its members are already involved with new projects. Stay tuned...

In the meantime, here are a few of my favorites from that night.
