Wax: Difference between revisions

Prior to the existence of Wax, several of its future members were acquainted with people from the future weezer scene. In the fall of 1988 Pat Finn started attending [[Musician's Institute]] in Hollywood, and there he met fellow students Matt Sharp and Tom Gardocki. Tom had come from Chicago, and several of his Chicago friends arrived around the same time, including future Wax members Dave Georgeff and Loomis Fall, as well as Bob Hnilo (later of [[The Dum-Dums]]), Jack Polick, and several others. These meetings slightly pre-dated the arrival of "the Connecticut crew", i.e. Rivers Cuomo, Justin Fisher, Kevin Ridel and other members of [[Avant Garde]], who would also arrive in fall of 1988. Rivers moved to Los Angeles under the pretense to his mom that he was going to attend M.I., but did not complete any classes. So initially he had very little contact with Sharp nor "the Chicago crew", despite them all sharing the same nascent scene.
