Biography

At least seven bands have used this name, although all but one are very recent:

1. Weekend is a punk/shoegaze/psychedelic band from San Francisco, CA. Their debut 10” was released on Mexican Summer records in December 2009 to favorable reviews.

No Pain in Pop – “Stunning, doomed, darkness…”

Fader Magazine – “…what happens if No Age traded in good vibes and instead got real angry from the depths of a muffled cavern. It’s about four minutes of build up, windy moans and plodding drums giving way to a balls to the wall freakout as the whole song collapses on itself.”

Transparent – “…the dark-hearted debut from Weekend. There’s a paralysing angst which looms large over the first few minutes of ‘Youth Haunts’ before its menacing drum-beat cuts loose and explodes into a crazed, bruised, hell-bent apocalypse.”

Split 7” with Young Prisms due out in May on Transparent Records from London.Also in the works is a full length due out on Slumberland Records Summer 2010.

2. Weekend is a Polish disco polo band. It has been established in 2000 by Radosław Liszewski and Tomasz Jakubowski.

3. Weekend is a group formed in 1981 by ex-Young Marble Giants’ vocalist Alison Statton, with Simon Booth (guitar) and Spike Williams (guitar & viola). They were one of the first bands, in the early 80s, to mix pop with jazz. They released just one studio album (‘La Variete’) and one live mini-LP (‘Live At Ronnie Scott’s’) on Rough Trade Records before disbanding in 1983.
