Last month, Weezer front-man Rivers Cuomo all but nailed the coffin shut on his beloved band.

“Really, for the moment, we are done,” he told MTV.com in an interview. “And I’m not certain we’ll ever make a record again, unless it becomes really obvious to me that we need to do one.”

Apparently, that time has come quicker than most would have thought.

This past weekend, a new statement appeared on the band’s website, http://www.weezer.com/, quite to the contrary of the earlier Cuomo quote.

“Now please, take those ‘weezer split?’ headlines and place them firmly into the ‘Don’t believe the hype’ bin,” reads the posting. “And have yourself a fine afternoon now.”

The statement is accompanied by a photo of Cuomo along with Weezer bassist Scott Shriner and guitarist Brian Bell, dressed all fancy-like in suits and gathered around some tasty snacks. Seems like a happy family for now.
