Goat Punishment | The name "Goat Punishment" was made up by Jon Williams of the band Volcano Suns. The name was then suggested to [[Mikey Welsh]] by his friend [[Todd Philips]] (formerly of Bullet LaVolta and Juliana Hatfield's band). Weezer first used the name at two club shows in 1998, which consisted solely of [[Nirvana]] and [[Oasis]] covers, respectively. Pat was either taking a break from the band or out of town at the time, so Philips sat in on drums. | ||
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.
