{{Karlification box|This was the first "pro" band that Rivers was in, and is mentioned here due to the fact that the 3 demo tapes (1987,8,and 9) may be the earliest "non-amateur" recording featuring Rivers.(There are several very amateur recordings from the junior-high and High School years leading up to Avant Garde, but they are not listed here) Rivers's contribution To AG was primarily guitar playing and soloing. The whole band is credited as the songwriter, but I beleive Rivers mostly came up with the guitar parts. The band also included both Kevin Ridel (later of Ridel High and AM Radio) on vocals, Justin Fisher (later of Shufflepuck, Nerf Herder, and Psoma) on bass, Bryn Mutch on "percussion" (drums, really), and Mike Stanton (later of Microsoft) sharing guitar duties with Rivers.|[https://web.archive.org/web/20140519062941if_/http://daveandnikolai.com/wzr/classic/03_Recording_History/WeezRecHist1.html Weezer Recording History, Page 1]}}
