Weekend was an immediate off-shoot of <a href="spotify:artist:0tQ2Q4y9iUkKszxXyB14ZH">Young Marble Giants</a>, the post-punk band known for their lone influential LP, Colossal Youth. Songwriter and guitarist <a href="spotify:artist:5OpX27WuVqFYEeB6QYvhs7">Stuart Moxham</a> formed the <a href="spotify:artist:2RPL1YMpEuV6X0SGdwdY6q">Gist</a>, while singer <a href="spotify:artist:208DDxBJHXOxgou4wWiQUV">Alison Statton</a> formed the jazzier Weekend with Simon Booth. Spike joined the fold after <a href="spotify:artist:208DDxBJHXOxgou4wWiQUV">Statton</a> and Booth relocated from Cardiff to London. A trio of singles in 1982 was followed in November of that year with the full-length La Varieté. Live at Ronnie Scott's appeared the following year, with the band dissolving by 1984. The '81 Demos compilation was issued over a decade later. <a href="spotify:artist:208DDxBJHXOxgou4wWiQUV">Statton</a> went on to record a number of records throughout the late '80s and '90s, with Spike and Ian Devine. Less significantly, Booth was briefly in <a href="spotify:artist:47UgvXOGr56g8YvwpmMUx2">Working Week</a>. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
