Weezer

Straight outta LA the band Weezer took the world by storm with cuts on The Blue Album like “Say it Ain’t So”, ‘Buddy Holly” and the massive Alternative Radio Hit …”Undone - The Sweater Song” We were in our element as a company DGC/Geffen while breaking new bands started to become a natural occurrence. The radio promotion department was hitting on all cylinders which made everything else fall into place. I had set up display contests in the Bay Area with Key retailers for a chance to win a Backstage Greet and Meet at the Fillmore. As it turns out, there was so much support that we just made the decision to invite anyone to the show who wanted to go. We had the band, in particular Rivers Cuomo and Matt Sharp stick around in the Mezzanine for photo ops and general frivolity. The band was very accommodating and points were scored! By the way it was a Halloween night in the 90’s, so the costumes were outrageous and fun.
