is coming to Penticton this weekend, and whether or not the weather co-operates, for them it Feels Like Summer.

The latest single is a sneak preview of the next album the Los Angeles rockers are working on, but with a busy festival season putting a slight damper on the recording schedule. Bassist Scott Shriner said they are hoping for a fall release.

There have been indications the new Weezer record is taking on some stylistic changes, but as far as the single being indicative of that, Shriner said there is still tweaking to be done.

害羞草研究所淲e recorded it differently than we害羞草研究所檝e recorded a lot of stuff. It got produced differently and we害羞草研究所檙e still kind of working on the song while we害羞草研究所檙e performing it live,害羞草研究所� Shriner said. 害羞草研究所淭hat version is out there, but I kind of also feel like by the time the record is being put together we will have more of a band version that will surpass that.害羞草研究所�

The recording and production are taking on a different spin with some songs being recorded as a group, while some are made without the band members seeing or talking to each other.

害羞草研究所淎 producer goes and gets with each one of us, we add stuff and they mix it up. Then it gets taken a step farther and another producer will go and chop that up. I used to call them remixes, I guess, where you take all these existing tracks and kind of creatively rearrange or re-engineer it,害羞草研究所� Shriner said.

Coming off a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album for last year害羞草研究所檚 The White Album, Weezer continues to be one of the most productive bands out there.

害羞草研究所淲e害羞草研究所檙e playing a couple of the singles off (The White Album). It害羞草研究所檚 exciting to play those and then also be playing a new song, Feels Like Summer, on this run and hopefully we害羞草研究所檒l be adding more newer songs throughout the summer. So it should be an exciting year,害羞草研究所� Shriner said.

With a jam packed tour schedule, there are two things Shriner cannot hit the road without 害羞草研究所� instruments and caffeine.

害羞草研究所淚 need a lot of coffee. I roast a bunch of coffee at home before we leave for a run. Then I bring a bunch of stuff to grind it, cook it, and shape it and do things with it. So caffeine and instruments that害羞草研究所檚 what I害羞草研究所檓 running on,害羞草研究所� Shriner said.

With 10 albums under their belt, Weezer has a lot of material to pull from when putting together a live show.

害羞草研究所淚t害羞草研究所檚 gotten to the point in our career where we can pretty much play nothing but, I害羞草研究所檓 not going to say all hits, but fairly recognizable songs most people have heard on the radio or Spotify or whatever. That can take up 60 or 70 minutes, just one or two songs from each album,害羞草研究所� Shriner said.

With some small adjustments differing from region to region, Weezer looks at what may be popular in certain areas, but the set list at their shows has an essential core.

害羞草研究所淲e try to shape it a little bit, but really we害羞草研究所檙e just kind of busy playing whatever our newest product is we害羞草研究所檙e trying to get out there and playing kind of the hits. That takes up the whole night,害羞草研究所� Shriner said. 害羞草研究所淏ut that害羞草研究所檚 cool. I害羞草研究所檓 not complaining, it害羞草研究所檚 a good position to be in.

His favourite songs to play are ever-changing, but Shriner said Say It Ain害羞草研究所檛 So was the song that got him to fall in love with Weezer in the first place.

害羞草研究所淭hat will never get old, for me, to play that song,害羞草研究所� Shriner said.

He is looking forward to playing Europe in the fall and visiting some tour spots he has never been to, including Saskatoon, Dawson Creek and Penticton.

害羞草研究所淚 love going to places I害羞草研究所檝e never been whether they害羞草研究所檙e out in the middle of nowhere. In the middle of an oilfield or in a mountain resort. I feel like the world is so huge I害羞草研究所檓 really happy to go places I haven害羞草研究所檛 been,害羞草研究所� Shriner said.
