Preston – Last Call

Preston was a band I was in when I was 17. I had been in a previous band called Go48 with Mark, but that came to an and we started Preston.

Weezer on David Letterman 2009

Taken from Stereogum’s The 12 Best Late Night TV Performances Of 2009

Rivers and band continue taking turns that leave some longtime fans in the cold, but their killer performance of the Raditude standout “(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To” with the Late Show band cast the new Weezer in the best light possible, showing that after all these years they’re top notch performers who are still capable of churning out a straight-up stellar pop song.
