Los Angeles, United States (1992 – present)
Weezer is an American alternative rock band. Formed in 1992, they have released seven full length albums, four EPs, and a DVD. Their latest album, Raditude, was released on November 3rd, 2009. They have sold over 7 million records in the United States to date.
The Beginning (1992-1993)
Weezer formed on February 14, 1992, in Los Angeles, California by Rivers Cuomo, Patrick Wilson, Matt Sharp, and Jason Cropper, who was later replaced by Brian Bell.
Five weeks after forming, they had their first gig, opening for Dogstar at Raji’s Bar and Ribshack on Hollywood Boulevard. Weezer began playing clubs to small audiences around L.A. and recording home-demos. Soon the band began to receive attention from various A&R reps, and were signed on June 26, 1993 by Todd Sullivan, an A&R rep from Geffen Records. The band was signed onto the DGC label (which later became Interscope).
Creating “The Blue Album” (1993-1994)
The self-titled debut, Weezer, commonly referred to as The Blue Album, was released May 10, 1994. “Undone - The Sweater Song”, “Buddy Holly” and “Say It Ain’t So” were released as singles. The album was produced by former Cars frontman Ric Ocasek. During the recording of the Blue Album, Jason Cropper left the band to take care of his future wife, who was pregnant with their first child. Jason was replaced by Brian Bell, a then bassist from a band called Carnival Art.

I too believe that they absolutely slayed it at Leeds, they should definitely have been above the overrated Paramore.
