WEEKEND Gearing Up For Second Leg of U.S. Tour; European Tour in November with Deafheaven

WEEKEND Gearing Up For Second Leg of U.S. Tour; European Tour in November with Deafheaven

New Album, Jinx, Available Now from Slumberland

"Taut post-punk...a bleak marathon of rhythm." - SPIN

Following the July 2013 release of their roaring, critically-acclaimed sophomore album Jinx (7/23, Slumberland Records), Weekend embarked on a nationwide tour that will start back up on October 16th in Brooklyn. Bandmates Shaun Durkan (vocals, bass), Kevin Johnson (guitar), Abe Pedroza (drums) and new member Nick Ray (bass) come together for a live show that's equal parts electricity and beauty - pounding rhythms and dark post-punk vibes shoved through a shoegaze filter and glossed over with honey-sweet melodies and Shaun's distant, wailing vocals. Full show dates and info are below.

Immediately following their upcoming dates with Disappears, Brooklyn-via-San Fran post punk outfit Weekend will pack up their amps and head overseas for November show dates with Bay Area metal band Deafheaven. The weeklong European tour begins in Switzerland and concludes in London with stops in Germany and Belgium.

**Please get in touch ASAP to set up interviews at an upcoming show, for review copies of Jinx, or anything else you might need.**
