Scott & Rivers is a collaborative project between Rivers Cuomo of the band Weezer, and Scott Murphy of the band Allister.[1]
History
In 2009, while on tour in Japan, Rivers Cuomo was introduced to Scott Murphy's Japanese language music, and after discovering that they were both signed to the same Universal Music Group,[2] Rivers asked the label to arrange a meeting.
They met in Los Angeles in 2010, and soon began writing and recording an album of original songs sung in Japanese together for the new "Scott & Rivers" project. They will both share lead vocal duties as well as play guitar in the group, and are planning to release a full length album in early 2013.[3] "Scott & Rivers" will have their first shows at the Radio Crazy Festival in Osaka, Japan on 29 December 2012[4] and at the Countdown Japan Festival in Chiba, Japan on 31 December 2012, as the first non-Japanese act to perform at the festivals.[5]
