tagging whoever this post might interest the most as it touches on some jazz

that dog. are an LA band from 92 and dropped their first album in 93, this was around weezer got signed and was working on the blue album - they were doing club shows and what not and opened for that dog, at that time rivers even wrote a song about them titled “punk rock girl” which he demoed, it was never heard of until now he coded his own website and sells his demos on his market

on that first album they dropped that dog had a video shot by spike jonze, it’s not a reach to assume that from this to the undone and buddy holly videos shot by spike jonze, there was prolly some link and spike heard of weezer through that dog or what not which led to that

what’s interesting about that dog is they are all females but one guy in the band and most of them are daughters of important ppl: the singer i believe is the daughter of a producer, but most importantly and what picks our interest here is rachel the bassist of the band is the daughter of charlie haden

may he rest in peace- for those unaware charlie was a longtime prolific jazz bassist that goes back to the 50s and a contributor to the free jazz and avant garde jazz scene with his work with ornette coleman, he is indeed the bassist on this iconic and very important album to jazz culture:

(fun fact one of rachel sisters is now married to jack black! all of haden’s daughters do sing together too)

ofc as the blue album came out and took over the world like a hurricane, that dog were now the ones opening for weezer, rivers still had them in mind and was grateful - before the follow up to the blue album became the legendary pinkerton it was first a space rock opera fully fletched out with multiple characters of different genders that had each singers attributed to these roles with one of them being rachel haden as laurel, the project was titled songs from the black hole

but that’s it for that, if i get into that im gonna digress hardcore, the reason I bring this up and charlie haden’s legacy and own work is because rivers father himself was a great altho short lived jazz musician too

frank cuomo was a jazz drummer in the sixties to seventies, never went big but nether less found a spot on a 1970 wayne shorter album, a blue note record none the less! the most iconic jazz label, and boy did he killed that b****, here is a song where he snaps out and does a dope ass drum solo at 3 minutes mark:

it seems to be the only notable recording we know of in which he is credited

this was recorded two months after rivers birth, he was the one who got rivers obsessed over soccer - he missed rivers birth to stay home and watch the 1970 world cup live on tv, in fact he named rivers after the three stars of the 1970 world cup: riva (italy), rivera (italy) and rivelino (brazil) - rivers was born with a leg shorter than the other, it didn’t stop him to play soccer and trying to go pro but either his shorter leg stopped him from entering that or he had an injury that stopped him I don’t recall, but this is actually what led him to become full time musician, if not for that weezer probably would’ve never happened?

after the blue albums success he went under surgery to correct his leg which got him in a hospital bed and walking around a cane, if you’re familiar you’ve already guessed that this sounds like the lyrics of the good life mf that’s because that what the songs about and when it was written, the xray photo of his broken bone was used as the back cover of the ep of the good life

frank disappeared from rivers and his brother’s life and moved to germany where he had another kid who himself went semi pro on soccer, it runs in the family

but they’ve since reconnected and made peace, some years ago in 2015 frank got on stage for the first time with rivers:

frank is the subject of some of the most crucial weezer song, such as say it ain’t so
