Wanna Be in the New Weezer Video?
Young rabblerousers in the greater Los Angeles region, have Weezer got a proposition for you. The nerd rock mainstays are looking for a whole hell of a lot of folks to join them August 21 in L.A. as they shoot the video for Red Album single "Troublemaker". The clip apparently uses their recent Hootenanny gigs as a jumping off point.
Interested parties are encouraged to e-mail weezervideo@gmail.com post haste and hope for the best. Many will enter and not quite as many will get the nod, so the location and other details are forthcoming for those lucky sods who get the invite.
The "Troublemaker" single is out in the UK on September 29. Weezer's forthcoming tour-- including those dates with spiritual heirs Tokyo Police Club and Angels & Airwaves-- is, uh, forthcoming.
