Creation without fear of being mocked. Vacant Weekend Project is the creative outlet of three friends who all share a love of dry 70s funk, 00s indie-rock and milk chews. The boys knew very early on in their school careers that they didn’t quite fit in - a sentiment they embraced whole-heartedly. It’s hard to place Vacant Weekend Project into a single genre but their sound oversees the coming-together of dry, clean and funky syncopation, attentive harmonic choices and gritty adolescent themes - Performed by losers with excellent musicianship. Their upcoming single “All Over’ captures the band’s energy iconically and the tune never fails to get a response from audiences - a fact they witnessed while playing the Bar stage at Solfest 2021 and something they look forward to when they play the House Party stage at Kendal Calling and the Bar stage at Solfest once again. The band formed with intention in 2019 after around 4-5 years of playing and writing in various ensembles together. The band’s drummer and lead singer met in lessons for which they both shared a similar disinterest; the guitarist and drummer bonded over impromptu playground busking. Decked out in clothes from a second-hand shop on a fell and sporting the least stylish paisley ties somewhere on their instrument, Vacant Weekend Project are if nothing else: uniquely themselves.
