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

Co-founders Andrea Wasse (Vocals, chief songwriter) and Link C.(synthesizer, programming) were still in highschool when they formed the band with Lorien Jones (Bass) and Mike Clive (Drums). 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 allowed the fledgling Weekend to bypass the usual hardships of being in an independent band, and their second performance was as an opening act for an audience of over 500 people. With an average age of 17, The Weekend were thrust into the spotlight and quickly gained a loyal audience in the Southwestern Ontario independent music scene.
