The band covered "[[Friends of P.]]" for 2008's ''[[Friends of P - Tribute to the Rentals]]''. In the same year, the band toured with [[Weezer]] on the [[Troublemaker Tour]].

At one Los Angeles-area show, lead singer David Monks brought out a camera and took a picture of the fans. Guitarist Josh Hook was brought on stage toward the end of Weezer's set to play "[[Troublemaker]]" with them at a few shows. They played their "Friends of P." cover on the last night of that show. | The band covered "[[Friends of P.]]" for 2008's ''[[Friends of P - Tribute to the Rentals]]''.
