Today, Weezer introduced the “Indie Rock Roadtrip” — aka a summer time tour that includes a rotating lineup that features Modest Mouse and Momma, Future Islands and Joyce Manor, and Spoon and White Reaper. Also at the moment, Weezer fan and TikToker @dietlite_evan acquired a really particular prize for taking part in the riff to “Buddy Holly” for nearly three years: an invitation from Rivers Cuomo to “come play this live on Weezer’s Indie Rock Roadtrip Tour this summer.”
This all began with @dietlite_evan — aka Evan Marsalli, who performs in a Wisconsin band known as Diet Lite — making an attempt to succeed in 1k followers on TikTook, which then pivoted into his inviting Cuomo to duet the “Buddy Holly” riff. He dedicated to the bit for 990 tries, which quantities to just about three years. He even has his personal Weezerpedia web page.
“My people will reach out to your people,” Cuomo captioned in his duet. Earlier at the moment, on what would’ve been day #991, Marsalli posted a joke video the place he’s about to movie a “Buddy Holly” riff after which deletes the reminder on his cellphone. “What should I post on here now???,” he captioned. I’m certain you’ll consider one thing, Evan!
