Weezer’s self-titled debut album, alternatively known as Blue Album, will turn 30 next year. As it turns out, the band has some big plans for celebrating it, according to frontman Rivers Cuomo.

In a recent chat with Collider, Cuomo shared that the band intends to re-release the album in an “amazing deluxe package” that will contain additional material, most likely demos and B-sides. Also, Weezer will do an “epic tour” so the fans can hear their Blue Album favorites in person.

“We are going to give it its due respect and come out with a really amazing deluxe package with a bunch of additional material, and of course, we’ve gotta do some kind of epic tour,” Cuomo revealed.

Cuomo didn’t offer any further details but hinted that the fans should expect Blue Album anniversary shows following their joint tour with Smashing Pumpkins across the UK in June.

Blue Album came out in 1994, featuring hit songs like “Undone – The Sweater Song”, “Buddy Holly”, and “Say It Ain’t So”. The record was met with critical acclaim and was later made part of Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Albums of All Time” list while remaining the band’s best-selling album to date.

Weezer’s most recent studio effort was Van Weezer in 2021.

Weezer has a new album on the way, but that’s not stopping them from promoting a song that came out over a year ago. “California Snow” just got a new quirky music video, starring Pitch Perfect actor Adam DeVine.

This may seem like a strange marketing strategy, but there’s actually a perfectly reasonable explanation – this song will be featured in indie movie Spell, which is set to arrive in select theaters and on-demand services on November 19th.

This film about an illustrator who goes on a soul-searching journey in Iceland after the sudden death of his fiancée is a feature debut of Brendan Walter, who was in charge of directing Weezer’s music videos for “Africa” and “Feels Like Summer”.

Spell stars Brendan Walter, who also appears in the music video for “California Snow” alongside Adam DeVine. They play an eccentric therapist and his confused patient, who can be seen lip-syncing to the lyrics of this catchy track.

“California Snow” was featured on band’s last album Weezer (Black Album), which came out this spring, but their next record Van Weezer is already set to be released on May 15th, 2020.

“We couldn’t imagine building Frozen 2 without them. They bring such a rich, emotional understanding of the world and characters, and through their incredible music we have been able to really deepen and expand the story,” said Buck in a statement.

Hints were dropped and teased, and now it’s official: Weezer, Green Day, and Fall Out Boy will embark on a joint tour next year!

Green Day’s frontman Billie Joe Armstrong talked to Zane Lowe on Beats 1 about how this surprising project came to be: “It’s kind of a Green Day idea. […] We talked about how we weren’t really wanting to do stadiums and do something that was like throwback to Monsters of Rock Tour. There was, of course, Fall Out Boy and Weezer and now we’re stoked.”

Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy added his own perspective: “To me, I remember, in the 90s, there was this one summer, and Guns and Roses, Metallica went on the stadium tour and my parents didn’t let me go to it. You want to recreate that memory.”

Hints about the joint tour were popping up on social media for the last several weeks, with members of the bands tagging each other with cryptic messages, a mysterious HellaMegaTour.com site and even mislabeled merchandise being sent out to fans. 

To celebrate the announcement going official, all three bands have released new songs. All signs are pointing to 2020’s Hella Mega Tour being an event no pop-punker would want to miss!

Weezer’s frontman Rivers Cuomo has released a new track accompanied by a bizarre music video.

The new track is called “Two Broken Hearts” but don’t be fooled into thinking it’s a melancholy break-up song. It’s just about the most upbeat, happy-go-lucky song we’ve heard all month and it’s December… i.e. the month of cheesy Christmas songs and festive spirit.

Accompanying the track is a rather odd albeit delightfully quirky music video. Rivers’ Bitmoji avatar is serenaded by his love interest on a Gondola in Venice, shortly after the pair of them fly around on balloons across the generic 2000s desktop background. The rest of the video is filled with some of 2018’s best memes, including a clip of Elon Musk smoking up on Joe Rogan’s podcast.

You can watch the weirdly wonderful offering from Rivers Cuomo below:

The track is a nice interlude before the release of Weezer’s upcoming The Black Album which will be released on March 1, 2019.

Weezer recently decided to make all of their fans’ wishes come true. After recently doing several longtime requested covers including Toto’s “Africa,” the band will now release The Black Album, their long-rumored 12th studio album. American rockers announced the release by debuting a new track “Can’t Knock the Hustle.” Further details about the record remain unknown, except the fact that it should be released in the first half of 2019.

Weezer’s new song was accompanied by an intriguing music video which stars Fall Out Boy’s bassist and backing vocalist Pete Wentz as a ride share service driver. As part of the video, website HastaLuegoAdios was set up containing a phone number of this fake company. When texted, the number sends back a form which enables fans to sign up to get updates about The Black Album.

You can check it out below.

And that’s not all, the band also announced new dates for their ongoing joint tour with legendary rock band Pixies. The new leg of this North America tour will kick off in Louisville on March 8th and will wrap up with a show in Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Event Center on April 12th. The tickets will be on sale starting October 19th.

Hints were dropped and teased, and now it’s official: Weezer, Green Day, and Fall Out Boy will embark on a joint tour next year!

Green Day’s frontman Billie Joe Armstrong talked to Zane Lowe on Beats 1 about how this surprising project came to be: “It’s kind of a Green Day idea. […] We talked about how we weren’t really wanting to do stadiums and do something that was like throwback to Monsters of Rock Tour. There was, of course, Fall Out Boy and Weezer and now we’re stoked.”

Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy added his own perspective: “To me, I remember, in the 90s, there was this one summer, and Guns and Roses, Metallica went on the stadium tour and my parents didn’t let me go to it. You want to recreate that memory.”

Hints about the joint tour were popping up on social media for the last several weeks, with members of the bands tagging each other with cryptic messages, a mysterious HellaMegaTour.com site and even mislabeled merchandise being sent out to fans. 

To celebrate the announcement going official, all three bands have released new songs. All signs are pointing to 2020’s Hella Mega Tour being an event no pop-punker would want to miss!

Weezer’s frontman Rivers Cuomo has released a new track accompanied by a bizarre music video.

The new track is called “Two Broken Hearts” but don’t be fooled into thinking it’s a melancholy break-up song. It’s just about the most upbeat, happy-go-lucky song we’ve heard all month and it’s December… i.e. the month of cheesy Christmas songs and festive spirit.

Accompanying the track is a rather odd albeit delightfully quirky music video. Rivers’ Bitmoji avatar is serenaded by his love interest on a Gondola in Venice, shortly after the pair of them fly around on balloons across the generic 2000s desktop background. The rest of the video is filled with some of 2018’s best memes, including a clip of Elon Musk smoking up on Joe Rogan’s podcast.

You can watch the weirdly wonderful offering from Rivers Cuomo below:

The track is a nice interlude before the release of Weezer’s upcoming The Black Album which will be released on March 1, 2019.

Weezer recently decided to make all of their fans’ wishes come true. After recently doing several longtime requested covers including Toto’s “Africa,” the band will now release The Black Album, their long-rumored 12th studio album. American rockers announced the release by debuting a new track “Can’t Knock the Hustle.” Further details about the record remain unknown, except the fact that it should be released in the first half of 2019.

Weezer’s new song was accompanied by an intriguing music video which stars Fall Out Boy’s bassist and backing vocalist Pete Wentz as a ride share service driver. As part of the video, website HastaLuegoAdios was set up containing a phone number of this fake company. When texted, the number sends back a form which enables fans to sign up to get updates about The Black Album.

You can check it out below.

And that’s not all, the band also announced new dates for their ongoing joint tour with legendary rock band Pixies. The new leg of this North America tour will kick off in Louisville on March 8th and will wrap up with a show in Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Event Center on April 12th. The tickets will be on sale starting October 19th.
