In [[1995]], Haden collaborated with [[Weezer]]’s [[Matt Sharp]] on the project that would eventually manifest as [[the Rentals]].

In [[1996]], she performed lead vocals on Weezer’s "[[I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams]]", the only released Weezer song to feature female lead vocals. This song was originally written for the abandoned ''[[Songs from the Black Hole]]'' album. Haden was [[Rivers Cuomo]]'s choice to play the "good girl" character, [[Laurel]].
