They are made up of musicians who over the last 25 years have rocked the stages of Britain, Europe and the world. With the resurgence in guitar based music the band have been in huge demand, indeed they have performed along side the likes of Gotthard, TNT, Dokken, Magnum, Saxon, Wishbone Ash, Jeff Scott Soto and Winger etc, in fact the list reads like a who's who of rock. It was around the release of their third opus "New Religion" that legendary Magnum vocalist Bob Catley invited the band to support him on his solo tour of Britain and Europe for which the band again impressed from the start, this resulted in the band being asked to write Bob Catley's next solo album Spirit Of Man. The album as received worldwide critical acclaim, and again the band was invited to tour with Catley. In November 2006 the band released their fourth album, the acclaimed Forever Moving On. The band spent 2007 promoting the latest album with appearances at some of England's premier rock festivals to great effect. With a slight change in personnel the band are now a twin guitar based band resulting in a heavier sound more akin to the likes of the Scorpions, UFO and Thunder to name a few. If you have not seen this band live with there current line-up you have not seen this band at all. With four albums on sale around the world and band on the eve of the best release to date with their new album on Escape titled "Fear and Innocence" the band goes from strength to strength. Tuesday 29th April 2008 Z AND LOST WEEKEND PART COMPANY ON GOOD TERMS: Lost Weekend have parted company with Z Records by mutual agreement. In a statement released by vocalist Paul Uttley "We would like thank Mark for all his efforts while we were with the label, but we feel with a new album already written and of a slightly heavier feel a new approach and label would give the band renewed impetus and re-energize all areas of the lost weekend camp, an announcement regarding the future will follow shortly, once again thanks to Mark and all at Z Rock." Tuesday 7th March 2008 LOST WEEKEND were in the studio last weekend demoing material for their 5 studio album. Paul Uttley describes the new material as having influences from the classics that Thunder, UFO, Scorpions and Whitesnake are best known for, which is far removed from anything that LOST WEEKEND have done previously. With a twin guitar line-up, the band feel that they can stretch their creative muscles further than in previous incarnations of the band. "New" boy, Paul 'Squiz' Surrall, has helped mould a new and improved version of the band and has injected a renewed enthusiasm into the existing band members. Tracks that were demoed include : Stone Hearted Women, Find My Own Way, The Eagle, Another Lonely Night In Tears, Only The Strong Survive, Life With The Lid Taken Off and Backstreet Living. The band will continue to work on new material and hope to announce details of their forthcoming album very soon. In addition to the writing and recording process, the band are also lining up live dates to present the new material and to dust off the old classics. These dates are to be announced shortly.

The news of the record deal with Z Records has been received with great enthusiasm by the band Paul Uttley lead vocalist comments, "as some of you know we have been busy not only writing our fourth album but also writing the critically acclaimed Bob Catley album Spirit Of Man.

Dave Thompson guitarist said: "We are a gigging band not as some of the acts around projects, so not only will you be able to hear new material from us you will see us play the material live at venues near where you live. Also mark wants to develop the live area of what we do and with the option of a fifth album we feel the deal offers us as a band all we could ask for at this time and look forward to a fruitful time by all concerned."

With the band in heavy rehearsals in readiness for the Bob Catley tour, we made the hard decision to replace Irvin with not a keyboard player but another guitarist who goes under the name Squiz! He is a fantastic player and will bring a harder edge to the band. We will have to cancel our final warm-up gig at the Golden Lion, simply as we need the time to fully work Squiz into the Lost Weekend sound.
