Biography

Los Angeles, United States (1992 – present)

Weezer is an American band. Formed in 1992, they have released eight full length albums, six EPs, and a DVD. Their latest album, Hurley, was released on September 14th, 2010. They have sold over 9 million records in the United States to date.

Weezer formed 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 The 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.

    WarriorJones, Weezer has stopped recording new music. It's on account of Rivers and his J-pop **** that he's pushing that's making Weezer so irrelevant right now. The others have been forced to do whatever Rivers says and does.

    Who all here is going on the 2014 Weezer cruise? You have to have money like Bill Gates to be there, spend $1000s or more on a room plus a plane ticket going to and from there and I don't really know what the weather is going to be like in February 2014. I'm not going and waiting on the San Antonio Spurs to go to the NBA Finals, that's the most exciting thing happening now for me not Weezer.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they stopped recording new music at this point. Doesn't seem to be much buzz about a new album
