Rolling over to the Sonic Boom Fest shortly - lots n lots of bands playing today including Bad Religion, Toyko Police Club, and Rise Against. Should be a good one!
(later...)
Well, things were looking kinda damp for a while, and the 13,000 strong crowd endured some torrential rain during Bad Religion's set. Then during City And Colour's much more mellow show, the clouds finally parted. By the time Weezer went on, things were positively bright and sunny - at least till the sun went down on the rock.
Today's crowd was wild right out of the gate with heavy crowsurfing going on, 13000 peeps all going nutz in tandem. This was weezers second ever trip to Edmonton, the first being a very breif stop on the 2002 Dusty West Tour. We didnt even have a chance to see the city that time so it felt like the first time we had been here. As we learned today, Edmonton is a nice looking city perched on a dramatic river gorge. And the people were all super nice and friendly, from the hotel staff to the wild fans in the audience today.
Our 2008 tourmates Tokyo Police Club played earlier in the afternoon, and the show was finished up by the heavy punk sounds of Rise Against. Before we knew it we were back at the hotel getting packed up to go to Seattle the next morning. Weez ever onward!

weezer 9/3/23, @petcopark (on the laid back back side), the last day of the #indierockroadtrip ! And San Diego brought the super fan power for a fantastic finale!

R+R after yesterdays epic battle royale in Kansas City. Pat met some Weezer fans at the mall (see photo). But meanwhile Rivers had some soccer plans that took him to Salt Lake City. 
SLC US Men's National Team Soccer report:
"...Great game in Salt Lake City today! Before the match, we were invited down to the field to watch the U.S. Men’s Soccer team warm up, and Rivers did a couple of quick interviews for Goal.com and USSoccer.com. The game was very tense, but exciting. End result: USA 2 – El Salvador 1. 3 points closer to officially qualifying for South Africa 2010..." -SCK

Folks, the Big Bumbershoot show is here at last. We're playing after Hole on the main stage. Havent played with Hole since 1994 in NYC at the Academy and/or the z100 show at MSG. anyway, more to come...
(later...)
Ok, Bumbershoot has been going on forever and is a great festival. Tons of great bands and other cool stuff, and its right downtown so you dont have to go out to East Juhunga and park on somebodys pasture to get there. The mais stage is wisely placed at the end of the Memorial Stadium, creating a cool canyonlike Roman Coliseum style vibe.
After checking out the resseurected Hole, who were pretty solid and entertaining with a twisted cover of "Jeremy" and a pleasantly wasted feeling version of Buffy Sainte-Marie's "Codine" (done a la The Litter's blues punk version from 1968), Weezer took the final slot of Day 2's Main Stage. It was an interesting blast from the bast to share the stage with Courtney, hearkening back to '94 -'95 when we shared several holiday radio shows with Hole right when they and Weezer were both all over what was then called "Modern Rock" radio. That was then, and this is now - it's been a long ride from the 90's and with every new album, weezer has added classic live songs to their setlist, which they tore thru tonight with what has become an expected high level of energy and attention to musical detail. Seattle caught the band at its peak, which was fitting as we now got to LA for 2 weeks for new album promotion, to return to the stage later in September. And conversely, it appears Weezer caught Seattle at its peak - the energy coming off the crowd was intense!
Huge ups to Lance Westgaard for the super custom flying W guitar used on "Hash Pipe" tonight. Lance hand crafted this totally unique and fine instrument and and gifted it to the band today!

...Well, Weezer's "Hash Pipe" lost to Limp Bizkit's "Rollin'" for "Best Rock Video" at Mtv's VMA's tonight. It's hard to defeat the Bizkit! As one viewer noted:
:::"during the vma's they played "simple pages". it was
:::after linkin park, as they went to commercial. it was
:::the highlight of the entire show." --Dane, Seattle
apparently they also used a bit from "Glorious Day" somewhere too. another viewer had a different take:
:::"so, weezer didn't take home a moonman...sucks...but the guy from limp bizkit
:::sang an iron maiden song which was pretty cool...kind of made up for the
:::loss but not really. weezer rules." --Helen, Toronto
well, you win some, you lose some!
...I am flying in to L.A. tomorrow (Friday) to rejoin the guys for the upcoming adventures both here in America and overseas. The guys have been working non-stop, getting ready- so without further ado...
...Sheeny Bang reporting from LA:
"Los Angeles- Weezer tour rehearsals...
It was a busy day, lots of things getting done and sorted out for the upcoming tour. Not many days left before we shoot off and in the evenings the boys are still rehearsing in preparation. The rehearsal tonight showed the guys are definitely ready and if the songs they're rehearsing are anything to go by, Weezer fans won't be disappointed. Plenty of great songs for both the new and the old and now I can't wait to see the shows! This is a new experience for everyone, headlining a major tour like this and there is a lot of anticipation and excitement, but there is no doubt that Weezer will rock everyone's socks off."

...summer recording session, day 35. Back from the break! Well, mostly, anyway - Pat returns tomorrow. Plenty to do in this first of about 10 more days of Album 5 recording before Rivers treks off for a semester at school. Today there were Rivers vocals, keyboards and pianos in action, and later some bass work from Scott and guitar work from Brian. As the songs get closer to completion, new ideas spring up, such as trying a bassline a different way as an experiment, or altering a guitar part. So while the bulk of the lead and backing guitar and bass work is complete, the remaining work tends to fluctuate depending on how the song is coming along. In other words, sometimes a song that was mostly 'done' becomes temporarily 'un-done' while an alternate idea is tried. And sometimes the alternate idea sticks, while sometimes the original way stays on top. It feels like a fairly organic process, with everyone allowing for some give and take. In any event, pretty soon will come the fun step of doing the backing vocals and the more 'out there' sounds, depending on what each song needs. Today's piano overdub was pretty cool sounding. 
...The first ever weezer biography has hit the bookstore shelves. While 'unauthorized', it looks like a well written and fairly complete picture of the bands history to date, and has proven to be an enjoyable read so far. Recommended to those that want the whole weez shebang in one tome.

...reminder: In light of the devastation in New Orleans, Mississippi and Alabama, a special reminder that the best and most efficient way to get aid to the needy is a cash donation. If you arent sure where to donate, The American Red Cross is widely held to be one of the best organized and most effective relief organizations. Our thoughts are with those who have lost so much and are enduring such hardship.

weezer Well, the Voyage To The Blue Planet finally launched on 9/4/24 in St Paul at the @xcelenergyctr , after many months of planning, design, and rehearsal work! So many people worked extremely hard to make this mission happen, and it paid off with a killer sold out first show! So thank you to all the teams, crew, and everyone who pitched in, and a HUGE thank you to all the fans for coming out and kicking things off with a hyperspace bang! (And also, as seen in these photos, Brian’s goal of becoming a guitar playing wizard is heading in the right direction). Now the spacecraft travels onward to Chicago, for another voyage! #karlscorner #vttbp

Well, the shows started up hot and heavy, with a rocker in Milwaukee, a CRAZY and exhausting double header in Minneapolis, and tonight's show at the Blue Note on Columbia, MO. Pat and Mikey bought BMX bikes and were seen tooling around the local area before and after the show.
...I got two of those 3 missing clips up on the WFO page, sorry the third (the channel 12 news one) still isnt up, my captured video file was corrupted and i must re-do it. But you'll dig the 2 from the Chicago show. ...havent been able to check email in 3 days, sorry if you had an urgent question, ill get on that now, hopefully...

...today I flew to LA and met up with everyone. I discovered that there are some personnel changes for this upcoming tour. Contrary to what I thought before, Atom (drum tech) will in fact be sitting out this tour, to get married (hooray!). Also Beebe has opted out. For bass and drum tech duties, we now have veteran roadie Dugan on board, and Dugan used to work for Van Halen back in the GOOD old days with David Lee Roth! He even brought his special vintage Van Halen road case with him (see picture) Craig continues his Front-of-House sound duties. Bobby is going to try his hand at teching for both Brian and Rivers on this tour, as "Pops" is currently unavailable to do Rivers's guitars. We also lost Ian on monitors, though we hope to get him back asap. Im not sure who weve got coming in to do that. Dan the Lighting Man is still with us, and ready to go with some new lighting tricks! We lost tour manager Gus back to his first love the Foo Fighters, and now have a sharp dresser named Stuart on the case. We got a new production manager as well, but I don't know his name yet (I do know that he is English, which, as we have come to understand, is the prime requisite for a Production Manager!) And Sheeny will be with us of course!
The main difference on this tour that you will notice, is that Scott Shriner will be on bass duty. I witnessed todays rehearsal, and I must say the man is ready to do his duties with style. Both new and old songs sounded tight as hell! Also, I was pleased to discover that he is indeed a witty, smart, and thoughtful guy. Before, I was definately worried that we might have a "square peg in a round hole" situation on this tour, but I think Scott's going to do just fine.
...also I finally got a chance to hear the recent demos tonight, and damn! There are some KILLER new songs in there! Hopefully youll be hearing a few of them in the upcoming touring...
...and: we've just put the finishing touches on the Weezer 2002 calendar, to which I contributed 10+ full size color photos of the band, taken over the last year of activity. There are also shots by Marina Chavez who did the cover to the Green Album. The calender will also feature important dates in weezer history along with the listings of usual (and unusual) holidays. It looks really cool. I'm not sure yet, but I think its going to be an item for retail shops as well as our online store. It should be available in a matter of weeks, or possibly even sooner!

The show will be aired again on Saturday at 8:00pm and Monday at 5:00pm. Meanwhile, the video also debuted on the "Riff" show, "...a punk/hardcore show...the vj said that keep fishin shows the new drummer, [making a joke about Animal replacing the kidnapped Pat]."

...MB '05 Tour: Day 81: travel to start the Foozer/Wee Fighters tour
Today everyone moved in from points afar to Atlanta, site of the first show on the Foozer tour, which kicks off tomorrow, 9/8 at the Gwinnett Arena. The band came in from their Letteman taping and went right into a breif recording session here in Atlanta, while crew and staff have been assembling for the last 2 days from all over the place to prepare for the mighty undertaking that this tour is. 8 semi trucks! A serious grip o' busses. Over 50 people travelling together on the road to make it all happen for these next 7 weeks. It's gonna be quite an adventure!
Better late than never: today we can finally announce whose opening the first 3 Foozer shows, in Atlanta, Miami, and Tampa. That would be Virginia smart rockers Mae. Check 'em out! As for the 3 Texas shows, the opener is going to be announced very soon, so stay tuned.
Also today I discovered that DJ C Minus, who (amongst many other things) has been a tour DJ for the Foos for some time now, is in fact the tour DJ on this tour as well. So when you see the guy spinning the ill mix jams between the bands, say 'sup to C Minus!
