about
The Special Goodness is the side project of Weezer’s drummer Patrick Wilson. It currently features Pat on guitar and vocals and Atom Willard on drums. Throughout the years the band has featured various musicians both in the studio and on tour such as bassists Murphy Karges of Sugar Ray, Mikey Welsh formerly of Weezer, Scott Shriner of Weezer, Pat Finn, and drummers Lee Loretta and Jeb Lewis. The band's name comes from a description of how Patrick feels making music. The band has released three albums; "Special Goodness" (aka "The Bunny Record," re-packaged and re-released during tours in 1999 and 2000 and given a full Japan-only release in 1998), "At Some Point, Birds and Flowers Became Interesting" (2001, self-released and also known as "Pinecone") and "Land Air Sea" (2003). After being signed to Epitaph Records in mid-2003 the band re-released a remixed and re-ordered version of "Land Air Sea". Their song "Life Goes By" was featured on "Punk-O-Rama Vol. 9" and an unreleased track "Not The Way" was featured on "Punk-O-Rama Vol. 10". The Special Goodness began touring together in 1999. Of the many side-projects/spin-offs from Weezer (such as Space Twins, The Rentals and Homie) they are the only one to ever actually open for Weezer, which they did on the band's 2002 Enlightenment Tour. Wilson minded both the duties as front man for The Special Goodness and as drummer duties for Weezer. Other notable tours include a west coast tour with fellow Weezer side-project The Space T
