Weekends With Dan is about making you laugh about the not-so-funny aspects of modern-day life. Weekends With Dan is not about politically correctness. Drummer Jeff McManus (formerly of Pist.On) and bassist Jim Frint (formerly of Descending Angel) provide the rockin’ rhythm section for the group. Kevin Borland (formerly of Cleverneck) blasts out the punk rock melodies from a stack of Marshalls while singer Dan Damage (also formerly of Cleverneck) belts out lyrics that tell of eating disorders, sexual harassment, venerial diseases. Weekends’ single “Anna Rexia” tells the story of Anna lost at the shopping mall. Dan suggests she’s “standing somewhere sideways and I just can’t find her.” The song is a heart-wrenching tale of true love and a sound diet that will have you cracking up for a solid 4 minutes straight.
Weekends is based out of Arlington, Virginia. There, you can catch Kevin’s acoustic live shows nearly every Wednesday night at Iota Bar and Grill on Wilson Boulevard. The band is not currently touring, as they are currently working on recording the radio versions of “Anna Rexia” and “Sexual Harassment at the Workplace” at Big Blue Meenie studios in New Jersey. Anna will be officially released sometime in March, 2005. A full length LP is expected to be released towards the end of the summer.
Stay tuned!
