Exclusive!
Before I went to talk to all four members of Weezer yesterday, I looked to see if anyone had every released an album with the title “Raditude” in the history of rock. Apparently not—or, at least I couldn’t find one.
Weezer has been road testing new tracks ahead of the album’s October 27th release date. This included a show at the Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto last night (August 23) and just after soundcheck, I had a few minutes with everyone from the band.
By the way, the show was excellent. With a truncated set (as Blink-182’s opening act, Weezer was only allotted 60 minutes), the band wisely focussed on their biggest songs.
Dressed in identical orange road construction crew jumpsuits—the effect was a cross between a prison gang and Devo without the hats—they tore through their most popular songs, reinforcing how much of a hit machine these guys really are. Rivers’ moustache is gone, but he’s back to the glasses. With the jumpsuit, I kept thinking I was watching Rick Moranis in Ghostbusters.
Solid show. Lots of singalongs. The Weezer kids went home happy.
