VIDEO: Rivers Cuomo Performs Covers of Smashing Pumpkins, Oasis, and More

Rivers Cuomo played an intimate solo accoustic show at The Hi Hat in Los Angeles this past Saturday where perform a set of 90’s alternative classics with a few Weezer tunes. Cuomo performed emotive versions of songs from REM, Oasis, Smashing Pumpkins, and the Pixies. It’s worth noting he performed his own version of AJR’s ‘Sober Up, which is a song he has a featured part on in the version you have heard on 101WKQX. Watch the whole special show below.

This is another reminder of how brilliant Rivers is as a musician, especially when you see him putting his own spin on songs by other artists with their own distinct sounds.

Thanks to our buds, X105KC for turning us on to this, and a special thanks to the Youtuber who filmed the whole thing.
