As promised, Jimmy Kimmel kicked off February with an unlikely partnership between Weezer and ZZ Top for the late-night host’s inaugural ‘Mash Up Monday.’
With Weezer's ninth album 'Everything Will Be Alright in the End' coming out soon, the band's frontman, Rivers Cuomo, recently told Entertainment Weekly that the four-year wait since the last album was necessary and intended.
Fresh from the success of their cruise, Weezer are now considering creating an even more unique fan experience. In a recent interview, frontman Rivers Cuomo said the group is considering creating its own form of summer camp.
Weezer‘s all about nostalgia lately. So it’s no surprise that their notorious first release, ‘The Blue Album,’ is getting reissued for the second time. The debut – responsible for the band’s success, and originally released in May 1994 – will hit the shelves once again on Aug. 13. This re-re-release is part of Universal’s Back to Black push, a stream of classic launches to celebrate the 60th ann
Mikey Welsh, who played bass with the band Weezer from 1998 to 2001 before going on to a career as an artist, was found dead in the Chicago Raffaello Hotel on Saturday.
Hotel staff discovered the 40-year-old’s body in his room at 2:50 p.m. when he failed to complete check-out procedures. An autopsy is being performed, but police say no foul play is suspected.
Rock cruises have gotten pretty popular over the last decade or so, offering an interesting (albeit expensive) twist on the concert experience for fans of bands like Guster, Barenaked Ladies, John Mayer, and Rick Springfield.
Oh, and add Weezer to that list.
