Biography
The Weekend People started life as a guitar and piano duo: a song-writing project between Mark Woodward (guitar, vocals) and Nicholas Roy (keys, vocals). The pair’s energetic performances relied heavily on their boot heels thumping down on the stage as their rhythm section.
After commencing work on their debut album with David Kleynjans (Groundswell, Adrian Whitehead, Emma Heeney) temporarily on drums, The Weekend People recruited Sarah Holmes (bass) and Peter Guidera (drums).
While The Weekend People worked to find their feet as four-piece, work continued on the album. The result charts The Weekend People’s progress from their days as an acoustic duo to the energetic indie-rock quartet they are today, all the while retaining the quality of song writing and the devastatingly poetic lyrics that the band has become known for.
In March 2010, The Weekend People released 'Mascara' as a single. The track was remixed for the release by Cameron McKenzie (Horsehead, Mark Seymour, Epicure) and was paired with a b-side cover of The Eurythmics' 'Here Comes The Rain Again'.
The Weekend People's self-titled debut album is slated for release in June of 2010.
