|style="font-size: .9em;"|[[Image:Ozma-Band-2.jpg|300px|right]]'''Ozma''' is a rock band from Pasadena, California. The band, who have cited [[Weezer]] as a major influence, have performed in concert and on tour with Weezer on many occasions and members of the two bands have collaborated at numerous points.

The band that would later be named Ozma was initially formed in [[1995]] under the name "Paper or Plastic," the lineup consisted of [[Ryen Slegr]] (vocals/guitar), [[Jose Galvez]] (guitar/vocals), [[Patrick Edwards]] (drums), and [[Matt Herman]] (vocals/bass). Herman departed from the band shortly after its band's formation, reportedly due to creative differences. [[Daniel Brummel]], who met Galvez through an AOL profile search while looking for a local band to join, was introduced to the other band members by Galvez in September of 1995. The band went through various names during their first year with their new bassist, such as "Sochi," "Sheriff Bob," "Powercool," and "Cosmic Egg,"  but in [[1996]] the band officially changed its name to "Ozma."

Following their self-released ''[[Cuatro]]'' and ''[[Ocho]]'' EP's, Ozma first official release came on the compilation album ''[[Hear You Me! A Tribute to Mykel and Carli]]'' in [[1998]]: the song "[[Iceland]]." The band released their first studio album, ''[[Rock and Roll Part Three]]'', on [[January 1]], [[2000]]. 

Ozma achieved mainstream attention in July of 2000 when [[Weezer]] asked the band to open for them for two shows in Sacramento and Los Angeles. Then, in January of 2001, Ozma was invited to open for Weezer on the [[Yahoo! Outloud Tour]].
