Weezer

On May 14, 2009, Weezer rocked the T-Mobile Party at Universal Studios Hollywood, showcasing a lively set that included a cover of MGMT's 'Kids.' At this time, the band had released their sixth studio album, 'Death to False Metal,' in late 2010, which was a collection of previously unreleased tracks. Earlier that year, they were also promoting their album 'Raditude,' known for its more upbeat and pop-infused sound. This live performance caught the band in a transitional phase, as they were exploring new musical directions while still holding onto their classic vibes. It’s fascinating to note how Weezer’s eclectic taste and willingness to cover artists like MGMT reflect their desire to innovate, while still appealing to longtime fans. The energy at Universal was electric, with fans eager for what this beloved band would do next.
