Jeff Miller “Think of this less of as a show, and more like an open rehearsal,” Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo told the packed house at the tiny, iconic club Troubadour in Los Angeles on Monday night (Sept. 19), where his much-beloved band played a semi-secret, deep-cut packed set under the name Goat Punishment — no phones allowed. “We’re gonna play a lot of stuff you may not expect to hear, and we’re not going to play a bunch of stuff you probably did expect to hear.” Truth in advertising: over the course of 90 minutes, the band debuted an entire new album, “SZNZ: Winter,” due out Dec. 22, and blazed its way through fan-favorite deep cuts — including the B-side “You Gave Your Love To Me Softly” and the epic “The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived (Variations on a Shaker Hymn),” the latter of which had not been played since 2014.
The focus, however, was clearly on new songs. For the past year, Weezer has been offering up a new album along with each season. They were expected to play all four at a series of shows on Broadway this month, so it stands to reason that this show was a sort of make good. The new album’s theme, Cuomo said, was “sadness,” though in that depression the songs maintained the band’s penchant for catchy melodies (especially the off kilter “I Want a Dog”) and guitar heroics (“The One That Got Away”). “Basketball” has an opening arpeggio that calls to mind the beloved “Pinkerton” track “El Scorcho,” and “Dark Enough To See The Stars” contained wistful counter-melodies from guitarist Brian Bell. In addition to the “SZNZ: Winter” cuts, the band also debuted the hyper-dancey “What Happens After You,” the first single from the imminent “SZNZ: Fall” album, played twice this night in preparation for its performance

Lily Moayeri Gorillaz used their tour stop in Los Angeles not only to play a packed show at the city’s Kia Forum but also to hold a special advance listening session for their new album, the provocatively titled “Cracker Island,” set for release on February 24, 2023. Gorillaz albums are always filled with guests, and the Damon Albarn-helmed group reeled in a grip of musical stars to join them on stage at the Forum on Friday night: Namely Beck, Tame Impala and Thundercat, who are among the features on “Cracker Island” — along with Stevie Nicks and Bad Bunny, both of whom were on tour elsewhere (more about the latter shortly). Beck, dressed like the best man at a wedding circa 1977, turned up once for “The Valley of the Pagans” from his 2020 collaboration with the group, and again for the first-ever unveiling of his song from “Cracker Island,” “Possession Island.” Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker sang alongside Albarn on the already-released single, “New Gold,” accompanied by Bootie Brown, and Thundercat smoothly slid on stage for their rendition of the album’s title track.
