WEEKEND on Tour Now in North America; European Dates Announced with Deafheaven

 
WEEKEND on Tour Now in North America; European Dates Announced with Deafheaven
New Album, Jinx, Available Now from Slumberland

 "Taut post-punk...a bleak marathon of rhythm." - SPIN
"Weekend maintains a pitch-perfect blend of sweet and sour, not to mention past and present." - NPR
"This band thrives with a mix of swirling guitars, distorted vocals, and bass lines that move. Exhilarating." - Esquire
"Almost everything on this album is grander scale than this band's 2010 debut, 'Sports,'..." - The New York Times
 
Immediately following their fall U.S. and Canada tour 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.
 
Following the July 2013 release of their roaring, critically-acclaimed sophomore album Jinx (7/23, Slumberland Records), Weekend embarked on a nationwide tour this September that will last through October. 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.
