Meet The Weekend Lesbians:
Meet The Weekend Lesbians—a joyful, chaotic indie concoction born from a mix of seasoned scene veterans and fresh faces. Formed with pure intention and playful spirit, this Northern New Jersey outfit taught themselves their instruments just for the project, blending airy lightness with an unapologetically aggressive femininity.
