Although unnamed, Weezer were actually unofficially formed far earlier. The majority of the early Weezer material was written during the [[The 50 Song Project|50 song project]]. Before that, the members of Weezer were playing under the moniker [[60 Wrong Sausages]], with the inclusion of [[Pat Finn]] on vocals. After playing only one show, 60 Wrong Sausages slowly fizzled away as [[Rivers Cuomo]] became more interested in his own new songs and less interested in what the band was doing at the time. It was around this time that [[Patrick Wilson]] also began to shift his musical focus. Striking up a collaborative project, the two began writing Weezer's earliest material. | ||
Throughout December 1991 and February 1992, Patrick Wilson and Rivers Cuomo worked diligently on their 50 song project. Having finished with what they considered a reasonable amount of starting material, they showed the collaborations to mutual friend [[Matt Sharp]]. | Throughout December 1991 and February 1992, Patrick Wilson and Rivers Cuomo worked diligently on their 50 song project.
