Don’t you just love it when a band starts on time, to the literal minute they were scheduled to start?

And don’t you love when that band, who has been around more than a decade, makes sure to disperse some hits throughout the set so everyone has a good time?

And isn’t it amazing when that band, who on Wednesday’s opening SunFest night happened to be Weezer, seemed to be having as smashing of a time as the crowd?

"What’s up Florida people?" asked lead singer Rivers Cuomo, on a perfect Florida night under the giant cheekily retro flashing "W" hanging behind him.

What was up was an efficiently boisterous night of sometimes curious but geekily satisfying lyrics, herky jerky dancing and upbeat witty fun with Cuomo and the gang.

Starting with Hash Pipe and continuing with Troublemaker, the beautiful angst of Say It Ain’t So, the quizzical Undone (The Sweater Song), My Name Is Jonah and the rocking anthemic Surfwax America, the fuzzy-chorded fun came fast and furious.

And while the headliners of New Music Night have been around since the early 1990s, their inventive shtick never gets old.
