About the performers:
The Blue Album Group play Weezer's Blue Album straight through, note for note, with all the vocal harmonies, ripping guitar solos, and cardigan sweaters intact (or should I say undone?). For more information, go to: http://thebluealbumgroup.com
Rebecca Schiffman was born in 1982 in New York City. She studied cello and piano from a young age. In 2000, while attending The Cooper Union School of Art, Schiffman began to play bass guitar for the pop-punk band Pearl Harbor, which featured Walter Schreifels (Quicksand, Rival Schools) on drums, Ryan Stratton (Walking Concert) on guitar, and Masayoshi Nakamura on vocals. Schreifels began producing Schiffman's recordings and in 2003 her first album "Upside Down Lacrimosa" was released on Some Records. In 2008 she recorded her second album To Be Good for a Day with Mike Musmanno in DUMBO, Brooklyn. Vice recently dubbed that album their "Album of the Month."

The Roulettes were born in an Oberlin, Ohio basement, where they practiced on borrowed equipment next to a leaky washer/dryer combo.They grew up playing basement and living room parties to crowds of adoring fans and a few aghast fools who didn’t get their jokes. After moving to Portland, the Roulettes met up with label Lucky
Madison to create the first ever LM release, a self-titled EP recorded at Portland’s Jackpot! Studios with engineer Larry Crane (Sleater-Kinney, Stephen Malkmus, etc.). The Roulettes EP finds the band bouncing from the pressing issues of yesteryear (film students with dinosaur-sized egos on “Crabs”) to love as seen from a creaky
Ferris wheel (“Motorcycles in the Mist”) to straight up hot shit dance tracks (“Hot Ticket”) faster than you can pour another bourbon. For more information, go to http://luckymadison.com/pagetheroulettes.htm

This is what north brooklyn has become. Bores from ohio playing weezer covers to raise money so other bores can share their stories about being drunk and taking pictures of warehouses to no one.
