Matt and Rivers moved into the Amherst House on [[March 19]]th, 1992, which also marks the first time that Weezer ever played a show (at the Raji's on Hollywood Boulevard).

On March 19, 1992, [[Rivers Cuomo]], [[Matt Sharp]] (fresh from Berkley) and [[Justin Fisher]] moved into the Amherst house. They convinced the Asian land lords that they were UCLA film students and therefore would make a lot of noise. On that day, Weezer's first show suddenly fell into their laps. Before the show, Weezer began brainstorming various names for their unnamed band. Early suggestions for band names included, "The Big Jones" and "This Niblet". Additionally, the names "Meathead", "Outhouse", "Hummingbird" and other random names are written on early Weezer demo tapes. | On March 19, 1992, [[Rivers Cuomo]], [[Matt Sharp]] (fresh from Berkley) and [[Justin Fisher]] moved into the Amherst house.
