Goat Punishment is supposedly one of many names drummer [[Pat Wilson]] had suggested for Weezer upon the band's formation. Weezer first used the name at two club shows in 1998, which consisted solely of [[Nirvana]] and [[Oasis]] covers, respectively. Pat was out of town at the time, so [[Mikey Welsh]]'s friend Todd Phillips (formerly of Bullet LaVolta and Juliana Hatfield's band) sat in on drums. | Goat Punishment is supposedly one of many names drummer [[Pat Wilson]] had suggested for Weezer upon the band's formation.

The name was revived in late 2000, and again in late 2001, for a series of shows at small venues. The pupose of these shows were usually to practice a setlist for an upcoming opening slot, or work on new material in front of a live audience. | The name was revived in late 2000, and again in late 2001, for a series of shows at small venues.

Just one more show was performed under the Goat Punishment banner, and even then, it wasn't an advertised, for-sale show. The May 13, 2002 ''[[Maladroit]]'' release party show was invite-only, as tickets were given away on the radio, to message boardies, and elsewhere. The band was about to leave for Japan, and since the Flying =W= and other equipment was already on its way to the Land of the Rising Sun, the =GP= lighting rig was used. | Just one more show was performed under the Goat Punishment banner, and even then, it wasn't an advertised, for-sale show.
