The band has been known for their connection to fans, but this is pushing that relationship one step further. Fans now have the opportunity to finish a demo that’s been put on the Internet by the group.
Singer Rivers Cuomo, who was recently injured in a bus accident, said on Radio Weezer, "I wrote this tune, ‘Shusui.’ Now I want to write the lyrics. Before I do that, I’d like somebody to produce a better demo of the music. I’ll pay you $208."
The demo is available on the Indaba Music site. Fans can access the demo and submit their own versions of the track, which seems to be a ballad. Rivers Cuomo loves to work with the masses, and Weezer’s latest album, Ratitude, features a song with Lil Wayne.
Weezer recently cancelled the remaining shows of their promotional tour when Cuomo’s tour bus was involved in an accident. The singer suffered several injuries, including a punctured lung.
