The Weekenders

The Weekenders were one of the early Britpop bands on the Camden scene in 1993, and began in 1993 with songwriter and Blow Up Club promoter Paul Tunkin

@msjulianneregan The Weekenders are mentioned in this surreal occurrence which references a demo tape from 1994. What fun.

[The Weekenders @The_Weekenders]

A bizarre connection, The Weekenders are mentioned in this discovery of a @msjulianneregan and Bernard Butler demo, an early version of Yes by McAlmont And Butler. Cassette sleeves are mixed up with one being a sleeve for the Weekenders demos.... https://t.co/iBFYgZvdcZ

Where to even begin🤯😂 Do you know the band Suede? & their guitar player Bernard Butler? Do you know the song, "Yes" by McAlmont & Butler? (Bernard's band after he left Suede). Their song "Yes" was a HUGE hit in 1995. Well, this cassette is a previously unheard demo of THAT SONG!
It gets better.
This demo features vocals from Julianne Regan (front woman for All About Eve).
It's all been unfolding since our latest installment of Undiscovered & Recovered went live yesterday.
When we started listening back to these previously unheard demo cassettes from the 90s, I had a feeling we might just come across something like this.
Well, it happened on Episode 8, and I literally have over a thousand more of these tapes. Who knows what we'll find next!
Also, I gotta say: Now that we have confirmed, 100%, that it IS Bernard Butler, I really wish I wouldn't have talked so much trash about the guitar player!😂
Thanks to all the amazing people who have watched, & done the detective work! Large sized THANK YOU to @msjulianneregan for being extra wonderful, & shedding some light. SO COOL! #suede #bernardbutler #demotape
