The band performed "Gold Album" cut "We Might as Well Be Strangers" on "The Tonight Show.
Weezer’s golden era is upon us, so the cherished rock band shared some of the glittery stuff with a late-night performance.
Rivers Cuomo and Co. stopped by NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon for a spot that aired Wednesday night (Aug. 19) — on the eve of the band’s self-titled release, also known as The Gold Album (via Reprise/Warner Records).
Cuomo came to entertain, and he stuck to the brief. For a performance of Gold Album cut “We Might as Well Be Strangers,” the band leader dressed from top to bottom in gold, complete with gold trousers, jacket, bow tie, top hat, and topped off with make-up that looked like he tangled with Bond villain Goldfinger.

The Gold project — the seventh in Weezer’s color-coded series of self-titled albums — drops Friday, Aug. 21, marking the 16th studio album since their debut Weezer (Blue Album) in 1994.
As previously reported, the band will support the new release with Weezer: The Gathering tour, kicking off in September with stops across North America. “The gathering has something to do with summoning sorcerers from all corners of the world to come into this,” Cuomo tells Fallon.
