Weston

about

Weston are a punk rock band from Bethlehem, USA. Founded in 1990, they took their name from singer Dave Weston's parents for allowing them to practice in their basement. The band went through several shifts in members and musical styles in the eleven years they were together, some with much more fanfare than others. Following their major label debut in 2001, the band split up. They reunited in 2006 for three shows. This led to even more reunion shows in following years and a live album released December of 2009. Band memebers: Dave Weston - vocals (1990-2001), guitar/vocals (1994-2001), (2006-present) Mark Kale - guitar (1990-1992) Chris Benner - guitar (1990-1994) James Snyder - guitar/vocals (1992-2001), (2006-present) Chuck Saltern - bass/vocals (1990-1996, 2007) Jesse Short - bass/vocals (1996-2001), (2006-present) Jeremiah Attanasio - drums (1990-2001), (2006-2008) The band started out as a 5-piece post-hardcore act with some melodic leanings. After some time refining a sound and a live show, the band released the Thursdaytown 1981 7" in 1992. Outtakes from this same session would later appear on the (possibly) unofficial Perfectly Good Dishwasher 7" along with an interview. They gained a strong local reputation around this time and in the years to follow for their wildly energetic and often unpredictably goofy live shows. Vocalist Dave Weston would often perform in his underwear. Guitarist Mark Kale parted ways with the group to form a new band known as The ICK with T
