EMPRA BAKE A 'WEEZER' CAKE IN A BID TO WIN THE WEEZER ANTIONAL TOUR SUPPORT ACT!
Melbourne rockers Empra have baked a Weezer cake in order to win over Chugg Entertainment to be the chosen band to support Weezer in their Australian tour.
The boys from Empre had a sheet of icing made with an edible printed picture using the Weezer Blue Album artwork (1994), replacing the images of the Weezer band members’ heads with their own heads (cake pictured above). Chugg were so chuffed by the cake that they placed a photo on their facebook page saying, “This is a cake that arrived at our office today. Pretty awesome way to submit your band as a tour support. All bands take note, we like cake”!
Excitingly, Empra are now being presented to Weezer’s management regarding the support act slot.
