- Homie is a side project of Rivers Cuomo, lead singer of the band Weezer. Homie, as it stands now, was a one-time effort. Homie has released just one song, "American Girls", for the soundtrack of the 1998 film Meet the Deedles. For this recording, Cuomo was joined by Greg Brown member of Cake, Matt Sharp (formerly of Weezer, lead singer of The Rentals), Adam Orth of Shufflepuck and Yuval Gabay of Soul Coughing. Weezer fans sometimes erroneously apply the Homie moniker to a slightly different Cuomo-led group of Boston-area musicians that played several shows while Rivers took time off from Harvard. This group was not Homie, but were played under the guise of Rivers Cuomo solo shows and the material played at these shows were songs Rivers had written for the third Weezer album at the time. This Band included members of other local bands such as Chevy Heston, Heretix, and The Shods. This band is often referred to by fans as "The Rivers Cuomo Band", although this was never a name used by the band. The "Rivers Cuomo Band" formed in 1997 and began playing in October of that year they were a way for Cuomo to release solo music and play small clubs. For the first show thee lineup of the band consisted of Rivers Cuomo, Kevin Stevenson, Mikey Welsh, and Zeph Courtney. After Stevenson complained of being unable to work with the current lineup, Welsh and Courtney were replaced with Fred Eltringham and Drew Parsons. This was the lineup for the second show in late October. By the third show Cuomo had come up with a fully developed solo project he called Homie. Further shows were billed as Homie and the material played at Homie shows were exclusive to the Homie project and are assumed to have been intended for the Homie album which was worked on in 1997 and 1998. The song "Wanda (You're My Only Love)", although originally written as a Weezer song for the movie Angus, is considered to be a Homie song since it was played during the Homie shows. The song "Wanda (You're My Only Love)" was released on Alone - The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo,. The song "I'll Think About You" was released on Alone II: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo. According to Cuomo's blog, master tapes of recording sessions made during the Homie-era exist, but are largely unfinished, having only drum tracks laid down. Bootlegs of their live shows have been available online since 1997 and played a small role in Weezer's resurgence following their second album, Pinkerton. On February 20, 2009, a fan-made tribute was distributed by two members of the albumsix. com Weezer fan community, Jack Mergist (The Lifetaker) and Ryan Rowland (Runnersdialzero). The tribute features an album worth of high-quality recordings of interpretations of Homie and Rivers Cuomo solo songs from this era.
- Homie o The Rivers Cuomo Band fue un proyecto alterno de Rivers Cuomo, cantante y líder de la banda de rock/power pop Weezer. Existió alrededor de los años de 1997 y 1998, se dedicaron a tocar en el área de Boston. Rivers se encontraba estudiando en la Universidad de Harvard y se tomó un tiempo para armar ciertos proyectos en solo, siendo Homie el más importante. El grupo llego a estar formado por Matt Sharp, quien fuera ex-bajista de Weezer y actual vocalista-bajista de The Rentals se encargaría de la coproducción y de los coros, Yuval Gabay ex-baterista de Soul Coughing estaría en la batería, Sebastian Steinburg también de Soul Coughing se encargó del bajo, Greg Brown de CAKE en la guitarra eléctrica, y claro Rivers Cuomo en la guitarra acústica, piano y en lo vocal. Brian Bell (Weezer), Justin Fisher, Adam Orth (ambos ex-Shufflepuck) y Todd Sullivan ayudaron con coros en algunas ocasiones. En cuanto a material la banda grabo ciertas canciones, pero el nunca vio la luz no se sabe si en un futuro este será usado por Rivers Cuomo. Por lo pronto se puede escuchar la canción American Girls que forma parte del sountrack de Meet the Deedles. Por internet se puede conseguir cierto material en vivo de la banda.
