The Weekend (Canadian band)


The Weekend is a pop-rock band from London, Ontario, Canada, whose first performance was in 1998.

History

Co-founders Andrea Wasse and Link C. were in high school when they formed the band with Lorien Jones and Mike Clive.
Mike Clive was also a member of the London group The New Grand, a pop-rock quartet who, at the time, were signed to the prestigious indie label Sonic Unyon. This association may have helped The Weekend avoid common hardships of being an independent band.
Its second performance was as an opening act for an audience of over 500 people. The Weekend quickly gained a loyal audience in the Southwestern Ontario independent music scene.

2004–present

The Weekend has issued three albums and continues to produce pop music with themes that revolve around the attainment of 'perfect love'. It has traveled worldwide and is popular in Asia and Australia. In 2004, it toured Indonesia as part of Soundrenaline 2004, the largest rock music festival in the country.
The Weekend has lent its music to feature film soundtracks and television shows such as The Simple Life 2 and Mary-Kate and Ashley's So Little Time.
Andrea Wasse has co-written for Canadian Idol, CTV Television series Instant Star, and album tracks for artists Jenna G and Amanda Stott.
Wasse co-wrote "Watch Me Move" performed by Fefe Dobson. The song has been released as a digital download and as music videos. "I'm a Lady" is another of the songs co-written by Wasse. The songs appeared on Dobson's album Joy released in November 2010.
