Weekend Federation

Take the sounds of a lot of guys out there who are making real music that has a soul in it, and then mix it all together and put it in your brain. Hopefully Weekend Federation sounds like that. We just make music that we want to listen to, and we hope that by the virtue of our influences and talents, other people will want to listen to it too.

We met through a mutual friend while in middle school and began playing and writing music together while in high school. We are now in our 20's and residing almost 4000 miles away from each other. Our music is the result of hours of phone calls and much email correspondence, plus a sincere admiration of the other's musical talent and drive to create. We are gearing up for a future when we will hopefully perform our songs live with some additional help or sell them for profit to studios, but for now, writing and production is the main goal.

No, we don't, but I imagine playing live in my head all the time, and our shows are just phenomenal - Jacob
