This page aims to list all concerts performed by Weezer band members prior to their time in Weezer.

About this list

This page does not aim include all bands that have included Weezer members. Instead, it only features bands that performed at least one live concert in the time of their existence. This exclude groups that never formally performed for a public audience. It also does not exclusively feature bands that existed prior to Weezer's formation - instead, it lists bands that Weezer members performed with before they personally joined Weezer. Bands that Mikey Welsh and Scott Shriner performed with before auditioning for Weezer are therefore included as well. The one notable exception to this is Brian Bell's pre-Weezer group Carnival Art, whose live chronology is long enough to warrant its own page. For concert lists by the various Weezer band member's side projects and solo careers, see these links.
