Weezer
Weezer performs El Scorcho live at Frequency Festival in Salzburg, Austria
In August 2005, Weezer delivered a standout performance of "El Scorcho" at the Frequency Festival, marking a pivotal moment in their career. At this time, the band was fresh off the heels of their fifth studio album, "Make Believe," which had released earlier that same year. This album was significant, primarily because it saw Weezer navigating through a mix of critical responses, yet it still featured catchy hits like "Beverly Hills." Notably, in 2005, they experienced a resurgence in popularity, showcasing their ability to blend alternative rock with pop sensibilities. El Scorcho, originally from their iconic 1996 album "Pinkerton," was a fan favorite, and performing it live in Austria added a nostalgic touch to their setlist amidst new material. It was like a bridge between their past and present, proving that even years later, Weezer's unique charm remained alive and well.
