At age twenty-one, Wilson grew tired of the local music scene, and at the urge of friend [[Patrick Finn]], moved to Los Angeles. Shortly after arriving in LA, he joined the short-lived band [[Bush]] (not to be confused with Gavin Rossdale's Bush). While in Bush, Wilson met future Weezer bass player [[Matt Sharp]], with whom he developed a friendship. Eventually, by the spring of 1991, Wilson started a band with Finn, Sharp, and later, [[Jason Cropper]], called [[60 Wrong Sausages|The Wrong Sausage]]. | At age twenty-one, Wilson grew tired of the local music scene, and at the urge of friend [[Patrick Finn]], moved to Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, Wilson was also in another band with future Weezer frontman [[Rivers Cuomo]] called [[Fuzz]], which dissolved within three months. "By that time I had met Matt Sharp, and we were trying to figure out something to do. We had a lot of passion and interested in certain kinds of music, but we didn't know how that was going to translate into what we were going to do. So we met Rivers - 'He's got an 8-track, let's get with him' - and we convinced him to move into this apartment with us.

In the summer of 1991, Sharp moved north to Berkeley to pursue what [[Karl Koch]] called, "some sorta symphonic keyboard sequencing music." Other members of the band moved to separate apartments during this time. During this time, Wilson performed in a number of different bands such as [[The Dum Dums]] and [[United Dirt]]. Matt Sharp would later replace Finn. During this time Wilson and Cuomo embarked on the "[[The 50 Song Project|50 song project]]" in which they would dedicate themselves to writing 50 new songs. Out of this project, future Weezer songs would be created such as "[[Undone - The Sweater Song]]," "[[My Name Is Jonas]]," "[[Lullaby For Wayne]]," and "[[The World Has Turned and Left Me Here]]." | In the summer of 1991, Sharp moved north to Berkeley to pursue what [[Karl Koch]] called, "some sorta symphonic keyboard sequencing music."
