Weekender Records closes its doors
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 15 January 2010
Indie label Weekender Records has announced it will close down its UK operations.
Founded in 2006, and taking its named from the Weekender Club in Austria in which the label’s founders were involved, the label worked with the likes of Subliminal Girls, DOGS, Eight Legs, The Lea Shores and The Indelicates. Last year it announced plans to move more into artist management than record releasing, though this new announcement seems to bring to an end those plans also.
Founder Justin Barwick says he will now refocus his time back onto the club in Austria. A statement from the label said: “After three years and over 70 releases Weekender Records has decided to close down in the UK. Justin and everyone at Weekender is extremely proud of our label’s diverse output over the last few years. A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us in this time”.
