Pat Finn was making frequent commutes down to Los Angeles in early 1991 from the Bay area, watched Fuzz practice several times, and recalls going to at least one and possibly 2 shows. "I remember sitting on Rivers' Randall amp (that he sold me, that I still have), at the Coconut Teaszer [as Fuzz played]. Rivers wore the bucket hat and that brown and orange striped pullover. It was powerful, but not many folks were there unfortunately. Typical "non-prime night Teaszer crowd". But I was not going to miss that show! I had to drive down from Petaluma in my Escort that was missing a window." | Pat Finn was making frequent commutes down to Los Angeles in early 1991 from the Bay area, watched Fuzz practice several times, and recalls going to at least one and possibly 2 shows.

After the performance at the Coconut Teazser [date to be determined], and likely one other show [details as yet unknown], Chapman quit the band.<ref>Hiatt, Brian. ''The Strange Birth and Near Death of Weezer.'' Rolling Stone, 28 Aug. 2019, https://www.rollingstone.com/feature/weezer-blue-album-25th-anniversary-877089/</ref> A new bassist was tried out, a Japanese girl [name forthcoming upon further research], but she also quit or at least stopped showing up to practice. In desperation, Patrick and Rivers took out a classified ad in the Rock City News music paper seeking a bass player, but did not receive any responses before the band fell apart. Rivers was continuing his studies at SMC, and Patrick continued working at various strange jobs including at California Tan in Westwood, where he and Matt had worked for a while. | After the performance at the Coconut Teazser [date to be determined], and likely one other show [details as yet unknown], Chapman quit the band.<ref>Hiatt, Brian.
