Koe Wetzel Day should be a national holiday. Which I think most Wetzel fans would agree.
February 28th is officially coming up this Friday, and for those who celebrate National Koe Wetzel Day (which I proudly do) blasting “February 28, 2016,” while enjoying some Taco Bell and cold beer, you will also have something new to add to your day of celebration.
Koe Wetzel fans were already pretty damn excited to realize that February 28th falls on a Friday this year, which means you can party like Koe without worrying about being hungover at work the next day. Koe also just made the holiday and New Music Friday a little sweeter with the announcement of a new live record dropping this Friday.
Yes, boys and girls…as in tomorrow. Koe Wetzel spent a good portion of 2024 on the road, celebrating the music of his last studio record, “9 Lives”, on the Damn Near Normal Tour.
Although fans will never get tired of this song, Koe admitted how he’s tired of playing it live. He told Dale Brisby during his appearance on the Rodeo Time podcast:
“To be honest with you, I’m so ready for that f***ing song to just be done…but we still play it at shows and it’s like, what most people come to hear.”
This year will be the ninth anniversary of that wild night in Stephenville, Texas. So, I get why Koe is tired of playing it. Of course he might still be a wild East Texas boy at heart, but Koe has matured quite a bit over the last few years and is about to enter a new chapter of life, as he and his girlfriend are expecting a baby girl this year.
Regardless, Friday is about to be a damn good day to celebrate Koe Wetzel Day with the release of his “Live from the Damn Near Normal Tour”.
