When you attend a concert that happens on a Monday afternoon and also is sponsored by Yahoo, your expectations from the get-go are low, but from the moment Weezer ripped into "Hash Pipe," all the Monday blues were wiped away. You don’t need to hit a hash pipe to numb yourself on a Monday, all you need is Rivers Cuomo and the rest of his band mates, dressed in their white jumpsuits, blasting the Roxy like it was midnight, instead of 2 pm.

Tonight Weezer front man Rivers Cuomo will be stopping by Fingerprints in Long Beach. And on the earlier side of things, David Lynch will either be preaching Transcendental Meditation baloney or pumping out ambient noise at Amoeba Records in Hollywood. We're not entirely sure which activity he'll partake in yet. Atlanta's own noise rockers Deerhunter are slated to wreak havoc on eardrums at the El Rey Theatre with the equally abrasive act Times New Viking. And, lastly, Brooklyn-based rock band the Hold Steady are headlining the Wiltern. But we recommend checking into the Echoplex for Check One Twosday. This week Raleigh-based indie pop duo the Rosebuds will be performing with LA locals Lemon Sun.

Time for a song from the LA Hootenanny about a little town called Beverly Hills.

Patrick Wilson sings "Automatic" at the hootenanny while Rivers Cuomo takes a turn on drums.

Monday Weezer taped their Nissan Live Set for Yahoo and LAist was there. The Weezer Hootenanny performance included "Pork and Beans", "Say It Ain't So", "El Scorcho", "Island In The Sun", "Automatic", Radiohead's "Creep", and "Beverly Hills". More than 200 fans played along on guitars, horns, accordions, and percussion. Everyone clapped, stomped, sang, and had an amazing time being 'in' Weezer.
