The alterna-pop band Chopper One consists of the husband-and-wife team of Jason (guitar/vocals) and Amy Cropper (bass/vocals), with Tyrone Rio rounding out the trio on drums. Diehard Weezer fans may already have heard of Jason; he was a founding member of the band who split right when recording sessions for their debut album commenced (and received a co-writing credit for the track "My Name Is Jonas"). The reason for the defection wasn't musical, but personal -- then-girlfriend Amy was expecting their first child. Knowing that Weezer would be touring heavily to promote their album, Jason decided to bow out and concentrate on fatherhood.
