=== 60 Wrong Sausages, August-December 1991 ===
The frequent collaborations between Cuomo, Wilson, Cropper, and Finn led to Cuomo joining the then-unnamed band of Wilson, Cropper, and Finn, later to be called 60 Wrong Sausages. The catalog of the band had expanded to include Cuomo's own compositions, as well as his collaborations with Wilson. The band name came about in a spur of the moment discussion. Someone suggested "Sausage", then "The Wrong Sausage", and finally: "No, it cant just be one wrong sausage! It needs to be, like, SIXTY Wrong Sausages!"
The line-up was:
*Finn: bass and vocals on about 1/2 of the songs, backup vocals on the rest
*Cuomo: lead guitar on about 2/3 of the songs, vocals on about 1/3 of the songs, rhythm guitar everywhere else, occasional drums
*Cropper: lead guitar on about 1/3 of the songs, rhythm guitar everywhere else, some backup vocals
*Wilson: drums on almost everything, vocals on several songs, lead guitar and vocals on a few songs
{{Karlification box|Sixty Wrong Sausages came about in August 1991. The increased collaborations between Pat Finn, Pat Wilson, Jason Cropper, and Rivers somehow blossomed into this band. At first it was a trio: the two Pats, and jason, playing together in a fashion not unlike Bush (see above, spring 1991). But things were changing a bit and somehow a more carefree, less strict attitude was developing in both the music and in the band structure.
Meanwhile, Rivers's own Fuzz (with Wilson, see spring '91 above) essentially disintergrated, and he seemed to be starting a "giddy" phase, too. At the Urban Avenue apt, Rivers and Pat Wilson made a group of songs that brought everyone to their knees in laughter. Within a few weeks Rivers had joined this new band, which played a combination of these new songs (see below), some Pat Wilson solo songs, and a number of re-tooled Pat Finn/Wilson Bush-era songs.
The line-up was:
Pat Finn: bass, and vocals on about 1/2 of the songs, backup vox on the rest
Rivers Cuomo: Lead guitar on about 2/3 of the songs, Vocals on about 1/3 of the songs, rhythm guitar everywhere else, occasional drums
Jason Cropper: lead guitar on about 1/3 of the songs, rhythm guitar everywhere else, some back-up vox
Pat Wilson: Drums on almost everything, Vocals on several songs, lead guitar and vocals on a few songs (this is where Rivers would drum)
The band name came about in a spur of the moment discussion. Someone suggested "Sausage", then "The Wrong Sausage", and finally: "No, it cant just be one wrong sausage!! it needs to be, like, SIXTY Wrong Sausages!"|[https://web.archive.org/web/20140519063146if_/http://daveandnikolai.com/wzr/classic/03_Recording_History/WeezRecHist2.html Weezer Recording History, Page 2]}}

After the band came to fruition, they decided to record a demo tape before rehearsing and playing shows. The drums were recorded on Wilson's Octapad, as there was no room for drums in the Urban Ave. apartment. The demo was recorded throughout several weeks and wasn't finished until they decided to practice at a rehearsal space in October. The master tapes have been destroyed.

{{Karlification box|In September '91, when the concept of this new band was finally settled upon, the band made the decision to first work on a demo tape as opposed to practicing and playing shows. They recorded in Rivers's tiny Urban ave. apartment. The drums were done on Wilson's Octopad, as there was no room for drums in the little room. The demo took several weeks, sessions squeezed into school and work schedules, and was not completed till the end of October - after they had finally broken down and started practicing at a rehearsal space. The demo was never distributed beyond friends. The master tapes have been destroyed.|[https://web.archive.org/web/20140519063146if_/http://daveandnikolai.com/wzr/classic/03_Recording_History/WeezRecHist2.html Weezer Recording History, Page 2]}}

On [[November 29]], 60 Wrong Sausages played [[60 Wrong Sausages concert: 11/29/1991|their first and only ever show]] at the Phoenix Theatre in Petaluma, California opening for Nuisance alongside Monsula and One Man Running, which was videotaped. The band broke up shortly after, with [[Karl Koch]] writing around the time of the show "band breakup seems inevitable."
{{Karlification box|The band then played one show, at the Phoenix Theatre in Petaluma CA, on Thanksgiving day (Nov 26?) 1991. A videotape of this show exists. The audio quality is challenging due to the awful acoustics in the hall, and a poor quality P.A. system.
The show is interesting because everyone's old LA friend Matt Sharp (then living up in Berkeley CA) came to the show. Within 3 months he would be in the band on that stage at the Phoenix, Pat Finn would not be in it, and a whole new group of songs would be taking over the setlist....|[https://web.archive.org/web/20140519063146if_/http://daveandnikolai.com/wzr/classic/03_Recording_History/WeezRecHist2.html Weezer Recording History, Page 2]}}
