If you’re like me, then you’re either a cynical Jew or you’re really excited about the prospect of seeing Weezer tour again. Even if you don’t absolutely love the new songs off their latest disc, you’re pretty much guaranteed to hear a healthy dosage of The Blue Album and Pinkerton live. That being said, let’s get to the latest, which is that Rivers Cuomo and his posse of not-so-cool dudes are itchin’ to tour. They have some big plans, too.
Cuomo: Promo? We’re going to go on a tour. It’s called the Hootenanny Tour, and it’s coming to your town in June. We’re gonna bring ourselves and invite a bunch of Weezer fans down to bring their instruments and, uh, jam with us. I don’t know, 100, 200 people, whatever. Everyone come down and bring an instrument — whatever you can play — and we’ll jam out on our songs. [Editor's note: A spokesperson for Weezer's label, DGC, confirmed this to MTV News.] Then, in September, we’re touring Japan, and in October we’ll be touring the U.S., probably in the big rock arenas.
I wonder what instrument I would pick? Probably a Fisher-Price keyboard to elevate my indie credibility, and maybe turn some of those “Buddy Holly” organ fills into something out of this world. One can dream, right?
Speaking of which…
