Jon Pikus: Difference between revisions

In the early 1990s, Pikus was the drummer for the band El Magnifico, which performed at shows alongside Weezer during this period. Pikus subsequently became friends with the members of Weezer. Pikus, who had engineered demos for [[Wax]] the previous year, was enlisted to engineer Weezer's [[Weezer's third demo|third demo tape]] (also known as "The Real Demo") in early November of [[1992]]. [[Historic event: 11/04/1992|According to Pikus]], Weezer was unable to pay him in cash (an estimated $200 amount) and instead paid him with a stereo speakers. Pikus mixed the album with [[Matt Sharp]] until early in the morning. The tape was then mastered by Alan Yoshida for free, as a favor to Pikus.
