Homie (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Homie is a side project of Rivers Cuomo, lead singer of the band Weezer. Homie is, by many fans, considered to be a one-time effort, although Cuomo has stated the possibility of using the Homie moniker to release music in the future. Homie has released just one song, American Girls, for the soundtrack of the 1998 film Meet the Deedles. For this recording, Cuomo was joined by members of Cake, Matt Sharp (formely of Weezer, lead singer of The Rentals) and Soul Coughing. Weezer fans sometimes apply the Homie moniker to a Cuomo-led group of Boston-area musicians that played several shows while Rivers took time off from Harvard. That group is more commonly known as the Rivers Cuomo Band, although neither Homie or the Rivers Cuomo Band is an official name of that group.
According to Cuomo's blog[citation needed], master tapes of recording sessions made during the Rivers Cuomo Band-era exist, but are unfinished. Bootlegs of their live shows have been available online since 1997 and played a small role in Weezer's resurgence following their second album, Pinkerton.
