WEEZER ADDS The Bravery and Motion City Soundtrack

FRIday, JANUARY 15

(Phoenix, AZ) – Today Weezer announced that The Bravery and Motion City Soundtrack will join them on bring their January 15 stop at Dodge Theatre for an 8:00 p.m. performance.

Weezer emerged on the music scene in the ‘90s as one of the biggest, best rock bands in the world with their two classic albums: their 1994 double-platinum debut album Weezer (“Undone—The Sweater Song” and “Buddy Holly”) and 1996’s Pinkerton (“El Scorcho”, “The Good Life”, and “Pink Triangle”). The bands current release Raditude upends any expectations audiences may have of Weezer with its rollicking communal spirit. Their trademarks are amplified to a dizzying degree – the pop hooks dig deeper, the rock hits so hard it bruises – but the group subverts these signatures with a sly hand while pushing boldly into new territory. Raditude proves that Weezer remains a band that defies easy summations and can never be taken for granted, a band who has grown as they’ve opened their horizons.

The Bravery includes members Sam Endicott (Lead vocals, guitar, programming), John Conway (keyboards, programming), Michael Zakarin (lead guitar), Mike Hindert (Bass), and Anthony Burulcich (Drums).  The Rolling Stone describes The Bravery sound as “rock with a New Wave edge or New Wave with a rock edge — the music is darkly danceable and eminently catchy.” The Bravery’s third album Stir The Blood, featuring their current single “Slow Poison,” will hit stores next Tuesday, December 1.

A leading light in the punk-pop genre, Motion City Soundtrack includes members Joshua Cain (guitar), Tony Thaxton (drums), Justin Pierre (vocals/guitar), Jesse Johnson (Moog), and Matthew Taylor (bass). The band has released three studio albums −I Am the Movie (2003), Commit This to Memory (2005) and Even if It Kills Me (2007)− and toured with blink-182 as well as playing several Warped Tours and the Nintendo Fusion Tour.  Motion City Soundtrack’s much anticipated fourth studio album My Dinosaur Life is set to release January 19, 2010.
