+=== Weezer's first demo (English Acid tape), May 1992 ===
-In May [[1992]], [[Weezer]] recorded their first of 3 demos in 1992. The tape was made in an attempt to get more shows around the LA area. It was recorded on Rivers' 8 track tape recorder (Tascam 688) in their garage at [[2226 Amherst Ave]].
+After multiple shows and rehearsals, [[Weezer]] decide to record their first demo tape on [[May 25]], [[1992]], with the hope to send out and get more gigs. It was recorded in the [[2226 Amherst Ave|Amherst house]] garage on [[Rivers]]' 8-track recorder, track by track.
+About ten copies were made on blank cassettes and given to clubs in the Los Angeles area, one of which reached the owner of English Acid and led to Weezer booking their [[Weezer concert: 06/10/1992|first gig at the venue]]. Due to this, the tape was nicknamed the "English Acid tape" by [[Karl Koch]].
