Weezer tours with Tokyo Police Club, Angels and Airwaves

What is one to do with with Rivers Cuomo and the Weezer family? We've received news of Cuomo's memoir intentions, lent an ear to the scarlet-colored album, followed the progress of Cuomo's YouTube-fueled songwriting and watched, totally bewildered, as the band engaged in various hootenannies around the country, including this one in San Francisco, which featured dozens of Weezer fans playing and singing Radiohead's "Creep" along with the band. Hold our sweaters as we walk away, please. It's cold and exhausted here in the world-turned woods of Weezerness.

But we press on. We ate some "Pork and Beans" and feel our strength coming back, thanks for asking. Perhaps, after all, we are salubrious enough to let you know about a little tour coming up involving Weezer, Tokyo Police Club (from Toronto, not Tokyo) and Angels and Airwaves (from San Diego, not heaven). The five-week jaunt will hit the hometowns of each, including Weezer's own Los Angeles, and enough arenas to give Cuomo ample material for a concept album about the Stanley Cup.

"If you want to rock, you know where to find us!" said Weezer drummer Pat Wilson in a recent statement. So you've got to to ask yourself a question. Do you want to rock, punk?
