WHOA: Weezer ignores Scott Shriners less-than-perfect situation

Weird week for Weezer.

They were only added to Coachellas lineup the prior Saturday, filling a slotvacated by FKA Twigs.

HIGH: Optimus Missy

Nope.

Still not over this.

The Academy Award winners deserve better!R.C.

Well miss the keytar!

The Man along with what seemed like every costumed character in Southern California.R.C.

There were also free Erewhon shots.

They looked fly, they looked good.
