Weezer's Mikey Welsh back in action?
oappleby by Ollie Appleby November 7th, 2001
Weezer's bassist Mikey Welsh, who has been away from the band since August due to a 'medical condition', has turned up in recording sessions with Nate Albert, ex-Mighty Mighty Bosstones guitarist.

Nate Albert, Mikey Welsh, additional bassist Johnny Rioux, and Mighty Mighty Bosstones drummer Joe Sirois have been holed up in Boston's Wooly Mammoth Studios, working on songs Albert has written for an upcoming project called The Brakes.

Nate and Mikey had previously worked together in Boston before their respective careers took off. Weezer are starting their US tour on November 13 in Portland, Oregan, with 'temporary replacement' bassist Scott Shriner
