Weezerpedia:Today's featured article/October 27, 2008
The Amherst House (2226 Amherst Avenue, Los Angeles) was the home of the Weezer members before their formation and well after their first album.
Matt and Rivers moved into the Amherst House on March 19th, 1992, which also marks the first time that Weezer ever played a show (at the Raji's on Hollywood Boulevard). Before that, the band was operating out of 1711 Stoner Avenue in Los Angeles. The people living at the house soon became referred to as the "Stoner Avenue crew". Among the crew was the now famous Jonny Knoxville. It was at Stoner Avenue where Pat Finn first introduced Rivers to Patrick Wilson. Shortly after, Rivers moved to 2914 Urban Avenue in West LA. Taco Bell, at the corner of Pico and Bundy (perfectly situated between the two apartments), was fast becoming the most frequented eating establishment in the area.
Before moving into the Amherst House and playing as Weezer, the Stoner ave crew was constantly switching around this member with that member to form bands such as The Truth, The Dum Dums, United Dirt, Fuzz, 60 Wrong Sausages and Bush. (more...)
