The Ric Ocasek-produced Blue Album is a beloved 1990s classic, featuring such iconic Weezer tracks as the band’s quirky breakthrough hit “Undone – The Sweater Song,” as well as “Buddy Holly” and “Say It Ain’t So” and favorites including “My Name is Jonas,” “In the Garage” and “Holiday.”
In addition to the 30th anniversary tour, Weezer will play a special anniversary show on Friday (March 15) at the Lodge Room in Los Angeles with Keanu Reeves’ Dogstar as support. According to a release announcing the show, the Lodge gig will serve as a full-circle moment, mirroring the band’s March 1992 show at Raji’s, where they opened up for Dogstar; they will play the Blue Album in total with special, as-yet-unannounced guests.
