On [[March 19]], [[1992]], lead singer [[Rivers Cuomo]], then-bassist [[Matt Sharp]] (fresh from Berkley) and friend of the band [[Justin Fisher]] moved into the Amherst house. They convinced the 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]], lead singer [[Rivers Cuomo]], then-bassist [[Matt Sharp]] (fresh from Berkley) and friend of the band [[Justin Fisher]] moved into the Amherst house.
