WEEKEND NACHOS 2007 tour shirt

Story time:

so I got this shirt back when I saw them in 2007 and wore it for years when I was a crusty, riding freight and hitch hiking across the country. Its always been my favorite, with the perfect color and fit for me, but I never knew who the guy on the front was.

In 2015 I ended up in Chicago and got locked outta the house I was staying at and ended up wandering around trying to find someone with a phone so I could contact my friend. I ended up talking to these punk dudes outside a bar and one of them pointed to my shirt and asked “do you know John?”. I was confused for a sec but realized he was talking about the vocalist, and introduced himself as John’s brother. I eventually got ahold of my friend and told him I met the Weekend Nachos’ guys brother. Then my friend told me the guy on my shirt was John’s dad

In short, I walked up to this one guy in a city of 2.7 million with a photo of his dad on my shirt shot 8 years earlier for an out of print one-off tour shirt. Life is funny.

Wow man, what an incredible story!

Haha yeah it’s pretty ridiculous. Apparently they re-released Punish And Destroy with that same pic so it’s now immortalized

Oh cool, I’ve never heard the band though. What should I check out?

Contraceptron's picture

Unforgivable is my favorite - good mix of powerviolence and sludge. After that they’re more fast hardcore than anything

Cool dude, thanks!

Haha I was excited to see that pic make a comeback when they repressed it, but it also kind of took something away from my story. Before the repress, that photo was only on that one obscure tour shirt so it made meeting up with John’s brother even weirder
