Weezer's Rivers Cuomo invites fans to play onstage with him
Unique gig will see audience picking the setlist
Rivers Cuomo has announced details of a one-off gig to promote his new solo album 'Alone II - The Home Recordings Of Rivers Cuomo'.
The gig, which takes place at Fingerprints Records, Long Beach, California on November 25, will see Cuomo joined onstage by fans, who are encouraged to bring along their own instruments.
Cuomo said: "Anyone can be a part of it, you don't have to bring an instrument. But if you do bring an instrument, you will be part of the team that gets to pick the songs we play.
"It can be any song, in some cases, it might just be one person who says, like, 'oh! Let's play this obscure b-side!', and he may be the only person in the room who knows it, besides me, and then it will just be me and that person giving a concert to the rest of the room."
Cuomo will also have a computer onstage, so that if any fans ask him to cover songs he doesn't know he can look up the lyrics on the internet.
