For their upcoming ‘Hootenanny Tour’ of America, quirk merchants Weezer are inviting “a bunch of Weezer fans” to “bring their instruments” along for a mass jam session.
Following the wildfire success of their YouTube-aping Pork and Beans video, Weezer were invited in for a chat with MTV.com. Conducting the interview was Chocolate Rain singer turned viral celebrity Tay Zonday, who crops up in the Pork and Beans pastiche. He asked frontman Rivers Cuomo about Weezer’s upcoming circuit to spruik the new album. “We’re going to go on a tour. It’s called the Hootenanny Tour, and it’s coming to your town in June. We’re gonna bring ourselves and invite a bunch of Weezer fans down to bring their instruments and, uh, jam with us,” Cuomo divulged. “I don’t know, 100, 200 people, whatever. Everyone come down and bring an instrument – whatever you can play – and we’ll jam out on our songs.”
If those Australian tour rumours prove correct, let’s hope we get to jam ‘Hootenanny’ style…
