Seems Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo’s Japanese fetish doesn’t just apply to cello-players, wives, sumo-wrestlers, meditation, and fragile stationary. For the first time since 2005’s Foozer, America’s favorite eponym addicts are out of the black-walled apartment and back on the road with some super friends to promote their latest self-titled, Weezer (The Red Album) (TMT Review).
But this time around, the tour support doesn’t come from a compatible act like Dave Grohl & Co. Weezer’s enlisted the show-opening help of premature eject-ulators Tokyo Police Club, whose last two whiny releases (TMT Review) both clocked in under 30 minutes. Ticket holders will also have to sit through Blink-182 spin-off Angels and Airwaves. Do not want!
C’mon, Cuomo; if you’re going to indulge a passion, why not do it right? You’re telling me Geffen couldn’t get you Yuka Honda? OLIVIA? Not even the Harajuku Girls? That shit is bananas. B-a-n-a-n-a-s.
