Local powerviolence unit Weekend Nachos have officially been at it for a decade, and this weekend they celebrate ten years of brutality with a stacked bill at the Beat Kitchen on Sat 9/6. Over the years, the band have gone from a disjointed, spazzy hardcore outfit playing basements in Dekalb—with a name taken from a friend’s ridiculous AIM screen name—to an enormous, down-tuned monster with records out on Relapse. Their latest LP, Still, is a demonstration in evil and anger, jumping from pummeling D-beats and unhinged grinds to plodding, dirgey sludge, with lead singer (and sole consistent member) John Hoffman losing his mind over it all, sounding kind of like a deranged, pissed-off Cookie Monster.

What does the future hold for Nachos? Spreading the word of hard and heavy even further across the world. “We are most likely going to Japan in April with Full of Hell. I’m excited because it’ll be our first time there,” says Hoffman. “It’s taken us over ten years to get a show over there.”
