Geffen Records.jpg
Geffen Records is an American record label. Weezer signed with Geffen June 25, 1993. Weezer may also be seen as listed under "DGC Records", which stands for "David Geffen Company" or Interscope, which is a branch of Geffen.

In 1993, Weezer finally started to catch the attention of record labels, specifically one Todd Sullivan of Geffen Records. Todd asked Rivers and Matt to join him for dinner one night, Matt did most of the talking. Negotiations were discussed for what the band wanted and what kind of record they sought to make. On June 25, 1993, in a move somewhat questioned by Geffen (mostly because of Weezer's anti-rock star appearance), Sullivan signed Weezer.
