Weezer

In a series of self-titled releases, alt-rock mainstays Weezer have given us the blue album, the green album, the red album and, this year, the white album. Working with Fall Out Boy producer Jake Sinclair (who used to front a Weezer tribute band), Rivers Cuomo and company have come up with a California-flavored record (songs include "L.A. Girlz" and "Endless Bummer") worthy of classic 1990s Weezer. (7 p.m. Sept. 3, grandstand, $35-$45.)
