Weezer

Tickets are on sale now for KRNA 94.1′s June 10 Rocking the Rapids concert in Cedar Rapids. The concert will be at 1 p.m. in the open lot by the Alliant tower in downtown.

Weezer will headline the event, which will also include performances by Fuel, Chevelle, Tonic and Filter.

Tickets are $25.94 through Red Truck Tickets.

Weezer had hits such as “Buddy Holly” and “The Sweater Song” in the mid-1990s.

This is from Weezer’s website: Weezer has been around since 1992, and in its present form since September 2001. Weezer consists of Rivers Cuomo, primary songwriter, lead vocals and guitar, Patrick Wilson, drums, guitar, vocals, and production whiz, Brian Bell, guitar and keyboards and vocals, and Scott Shriner, bass, vocals, and keyboards. Whether on the stage or in the studio its not uncommon to see just about anyone in the band playing just about anything they can get their hands on. Its also not uncommon to see some pretty wacky stuff go down both on stage and on the web. Weezer has sold over 10 million albums and has played thousands of shows to date. Weezer is also known for its pioneering (1994-2000) use of the internet to reach its fanbase, innovative videos and funny and/or quite strange behind the scenes footage, as well as its extremely passionate and devoted fans. They also make a mean cheese sandwich.
