Just over a year ago, punishing local powerviolence unit Weekend Nachos celebrated their tenth anniversary with a packed gig at Beat Kitchen, but they enter 2016 with some very different news—they’re breaking up. On New Year’s Day, they posted to Facebook: “We would like to announce with both sadness and excitement that 2016 will be the final year as a band for Weekend Nachos. It’s been almost 12 years and we have decided to hang it up.” The message was accompanied by a slew of tour dates that will take them around the globe a couple more times before they call it quits.
“We are sad to see a huge part of our lives end, but we are also pretty excited to call it a day and move on to other things. Weekend Nachos was a band we never expected to last beyond just a demo tape or maybe one silly show, and we ended up releasing five LPs, touring Europe five times, Japan twice, and the United States more times than I can count,” says Hoffman. “We also made an absurd amount of friends and managed to even piss off a lot of worthless idiots. I think we’re all pretty happy with our run.”
