Magpie consisted of the same lineup as Supersport 2000 with two major exceptions. It was fronted by Debbie Diament instead of Cherielynn Westrich, and did not include Graciella Germann. This line up only lasted a few months before Diament was kicked from the band, Westrich replaced her as frontman, and Germann was added to the band<ref>https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/Glorious_Noise_interview_with_Cherielynn_Westrich_-_2001</ref>. | |||
