 {{Karlification box|Although Sixty Wrong Sausages would not be officially formed until later in the summer of 1991, this practice tape represents an important step on the road there. Pat, Pat, and the newly arrived Jason Cropper (whose guitar stylings were similar to Tom Gardockis, who was by now a full time member of Wax) run through numerous songs, mostly without vocals. The only thing missing from the 60 Wrong Sausages line-up was the name, and the soon-to-join Rivers.|[https://web.archive.org/web/20140519062941if_/http://daveandnikolai.com/wzr/classic/03_Recording_History/WeezRecHist1.html Weezer Recording History, Page 1]}}

The band had a sound comparable to, if not, heavier than the grunge music of the day. Chapman left the band after one show at the Coconut Teaszer in Los Angeles, California, and after trying out another bass player, the band dissolved in the early summer as [[60 Wrong Sausages]] started not very long after. Chapman went on to join the cast of the TV show [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MythBusters Mythbusters] and now works as a dental hygienist.
