Episode 2: Weezer Plays Coachella

It’s episode NUMBER TWO of Weezer Has Turned and Left Us Here! Sara and Matt stayed up past their bedtimes to watch Weezer perform during the first weekend of 2019 Coachella. Plus their performances at the 1996 Bizarre Festival and 2014 KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas. We talk about the Coachella guest appearances from Tears for Fears and TLC’s Chilli and compare them to the 1996 mosh pits of angry Germans and Rivers wearing a red cowboy hat at The Forum in 2014. Oh, and we remind everyone that we are so old. Weezer Has Turned and Left Us Here is a podcast for both Weezer lovers and lapsed Weezer fans alike. Every week is a look at a different aspect of the band and its history.
