Crux was a Los Angeles-based alternative rock band active in 1992 and 1993. They played small rock clubs in the Los Angeles area, appearing with Weezer at least three times. It is unknown if they recorded any material. Mykel and Carli Allan were fans of the band before the sisters had ever seen Weezer play. They recounted the incident in Weezine Issue #2:
July 9, 1992 we were at Club Dump (Johnny Depp bought the place, called it the Viper Room, River Phoenix died there) to see a good band Crux (No longer a band). At someone's suggestion we stuck around to see the next band Weezer. We were impressed and put them on the mental-list of bands to go see again.
