In late 1997 and early 1998, Rivers played five solo shows in Boston clubs.  Three of these shows were "Weezer Tryouts", two of these shows were "Homie Tryouts".  Karl has said, "According to various conversations with Rivers at the time, the new material showcased at these shows was both 'in consideration for new Weezer songs' and, paradoxically also 'goofy country songs that are not Weezer', (i.e the Rivers-fronted project band, Homie).  While songs from both "bands" (Weezer and Homie) seem to be mixed into all 5 shows."
