The first "[[Homie]] tryout" show | '''[[Rivers Cuomo]] performed as [[Homie]] on [[November 5]], [[1997]] at The Middle East in Cambridge, MA.''' | ||
==Overview== | |||
This performance was the first "[[Homie]] tryout" show. As explained by [[Karl Koch]] in the [[Recording History]]: | |||
{{Karl Koch quote|According to various conversations with [[Rivers]] at the time, the new material showcased at these shows was both "in consideration for new [[weezer]] songs " and, paradoxically also "goofy country songs that are not weezer" (i.e the Rivers-fronted project band, [[Homie]]). While songs from both "bands" (Weezer and Homie) seem to be mixed into all 5 shows, the main pattern is this:<br> | |||
Shows #1, 2, and 5 were primarily weezer try-out shows, all songs being either in consideration for use by weezer (i.e. "[[The Prettiest Girl in the Whole Wide World|Prettiest Girl]]", "[[Rosemary]]", etc), or actual weezer songs. Shows number 3 and 4 were Homie, containing new, non-weezer Homie songs (such as "[[Hot Tub]]" or "[[I'll Think About You|Think About]]"), and a few "bonus" old weezer songs thrown in for whatever reason, perhaps crowd pleasing. Anyway, its taken a long time to nail down this info, and thanks go out to many helpful detail-obsessed weezer fans...|[[Recording History - Page 10#SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING THE 5 RIVERS "SOLO" SHOWS that follow below:|Recording History - Page 10]]}} | |||
Cuomo was also scheduling these solo shows during the second half of 1997 to audition bassists to replace [[Matt Sharp]] in Weezer. This performance appears to not have been a more formal "try out" show, however, as [[Mikey Welsh]] was not involved, and no record exists of who played bass. In addition to Cuomo, [[Kevin Stevenson]] of [[the Shods]] played guitar. The show was organized as a fundraiser to oppose "a plan to demolish a building at Massachusetts Avenue and Magazine Street in order to build a $20 million, multi-use complex."<ref name="Oct 31" /> | |||
