Weekend Nachos breaking up

Illinois powerviolence band Weekend Nachos will be breaking up this year, but not before touring in various portions of the world and releasing a final album. The group has issued this statement:
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. This is not for any reason other than the fact that all good things must eventually come to an end, and we are rapidly approaching the end of our time. It's been an insane and crazy ride for us to see where we were able to take this band. Everything was done completely on our terms and with the same DIY spirit that we had when Andy and I first jerked each other off in our Dekalb apartment in 2004. We will continue to apply that sacred mindset towards our future projects and endeavors...I hope all of you will do the same. We would like to thank anybody and everybody who ever shared this experience with us. Your support will never be matched and it has been a lot of fun. We will be playing a series of shows over the course of 2016 and as always, if you have a chance to see us, don't sleep! We never know when we'll be back. If it ever makes sense to play another show after our demise in the years to come, maybe we will, but don't count on it. Our 5th and final album, "Apology", will become available sometime this year via Relapse Records, Cosmic Note and Deep Six Records. Thanks again, everybody. Snyder, Jimbo, Gozer, and Byron 1/1/2016 PS-Here is what we have planned for 2016. There may be a few more shows added, but not many. If we are playing near you please come and say goodbye.

No chain reaction show no care.

obscene extreme set is legendary

Didn't singers wedding get cut off because his gurl turned dyke?

anonymous 1/1/2016 7:01:26 PM

These dudes SUCCCCKED as humans...sold merch for a band they toured with in 2009. Singer constantly complained and the drummer is definitely into some questionable shit. Good riddance, don't come back after this.

anonymous 1/1/2016 7:05:34 PM

Hahaha! What does "questionable shit" even mean??

anonymous 1/1/2016 7:07:12 PM

Bart Simpson clothes

anonymous 1/1/2016 7:20:37 PM

Rumor is they broke up after Karebear threatened to beat them up.

fourthgradecocktease 1/1/2016 7:47:40 PM

"No chain reaction show no care." I was really hoping for the same thing. This is a major west coast bummer, but I guess our version of Weekend Nachos is NAILS so at least we still have that.

anonymous 1/1/2016 10:38:13 PM

^ Yeah that rumor about Karebear is true. What's more is that the Weekend Nachos van was broken into at the show they played this passed October in Baltimore. All their money and merch was stolen and a note was left entitled "A Message From Tha Jersey Shore". The handwriting was traced to Ian of Heavy Chains (rip) and featured promises of death and destruction to the members of the band, should they not break up immediately and leave the hardcore scene forever. 1/2

anonymous 1/1/2016 10:39:00 PM

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Ian and Karebear are now forcing the Weekend Nachos to do the record/tours and all money generated from them will go straight to their hands. 2/2

anonymous 1/1/2016 11:06:00 PM

Powerviolence....yeesh.

A member broke edge and the rest were forced to suck the edge breaker's dck. Physical reprisals were threatened upon non cooperation. Ian and Karebear also wants in on the sucking marathon.

anonymous 1/2/2016 12:17:00 AM

Powerviolence is a word and a genre, both things I knew before reading this article.

anonymous 1/2/2016 11:14:06 AM

Questionable shit the drummer is into must be elaborated on or it didnt happen. Can confirm the singer is douche.

anonymous 1/2/2016 3:44:20 PM

I've heard a few different people say that the drummer for this band is a really fcking weird guy, but nobody has ever elaborated on this.

genghisjohn 1/2/2016 4:05:55 PM

Jemenez_Cricket 1/3/2016 4:20:47 PM

lol none of these pathetic keyboard boys speak any truth.

anonymous 1/3/2016 5:00:29 PM

multiple users learned the word aggrandizing today

I could never take this band seriously. "Weekend Nachos"? Good riddance, c-m sluts.

anonymous 1/3/2016 7:24:19 PM

/\ /\ they never took themselves serious you fking loser. How dumb could you seriously be?

anonymous 1/3/2016 9:22:51 PM

All their records sound the same and those dudes are two-faced as fck. Only new-jacks like this band anyway.

anonymous 1/3/2016 9:44:29 PM

but I guess our version of Weekend Nachos is NAILS so at least we still have that. Except Nails is a million times better.

anonymous 1/3/2016 11:32:36 PM

Magrudergrind turned into weekend nachos just in time

anonymous 1/4/2016 2:15:49 AM

anonymous14 hours ago Please elaborate on the singer getting his face smashed. permalink | report abuse I remember that fight in AZ with John...he did get pretty smashed up, but it was 2 on 1 no care either way Kanye 2020

anonymous 1/4/2016 3:08:46 AM

um.... who?

anonymous 1/4/2016 5:18:14 AM

The Bart Simpson clothes comment was funny a few up....agreed these dudes are terrible "let me self deprecate" to create humor and be that much more credible...I don't know about the AZ fight this bozo is talking about, but I can assure you the singer of this band is a total tool looking for acceptance and got himself and band run off from a gig in Texas we played....these dudes are pretty sad

anonymous 1/4/2016 5:21:05 AM

Drummer was secretly doing coke / adderal on the road is a rumor I've heard from someone close to their camp....and had some weird shit on his hard drive

anonymous 1/4/2016 8:19:14 AM

whenever they come to my town i report a shooting at the show every time and the cops come and stop the show lol gonna do it again this time too

anonymous 1/4/2016 9:52:37 AM

All you pussies talk but what's in your closets?? Bitch shit.

anonymous 1/4/2016 12:32:43 PM

adderal....thats it? disappointing

anonymous 1/4/2016 1:15:59 PM

anonymous13 hours ago Magrudergrind turned into weekend nachos just in time Haha That band had so much credibility and in one record contract lost it all.

anonymous 1/4/2016 1:42:21 PM

2 comments above is the best on this site. John is a bandwagoning hipster btw

anonymous 1/5/2016 9:13:08 AM

"drummer doing questionable shit" adderall and coke, are you fcking joking me? i was expecting threw a baby out the window or something but no adderal and coke....

anonymous 1/5/2016 10:34:37 AM

lol at the "questionable shit" being adderall and coke. You dorks need to get out more.

anonymous 1/5/2016 11:54:14 AM

Can confirm that the drummer is always into or up to weird shit. Partied with him on one tour, watched him stick two glass beer bottles up his ass, break them and shit out shards of bloody excrement. After MDF and nearly overdosing on Special K, straight edge band mates locked him in their trailer to stop him from going ape shit on a cardboard cut out of Bruce Willis. 1/2

anonymous 1/5/2016 11:54:44 AM

2/2 Personally witnessed and heard him yell ""yippie kay yay motherfcker" while special K moshing in front of said cardboard cut out. Dude rules. p.s. Also heard from friends he and that Peter Wentzel guy had some secrete love affairs.

anonymous 1/5/2016 4:17:15 PM

All you WN commenters, and yeah band members trying to Keith Buckley comedy everything need to suck one. This band is terrible. I hope everyone on this site gets AIDS.

anonymous 1/5/2016 11:20:57 PM

Ah, the weekend nachos is breaking up thread. It's all over now... I'm feeling a light to strong 7 on this thing. Did you like this thing? Did you hate this thing?

anonymous 1/6/2016 2:12:11 PM

True story about the drummers Special K trip. Talk to anyone who was backstage at Maryland Death Fest.
