ROCK: Ween (6/13)
Published by Frank De Blase on Jun 05, 2007
First They Might Be Giants, now these guys. Christ, it's like a geek invasion. Dean and Gene Ween have been doing this since 1984. And if you can get past Ween's oddball view and penchant for irritation - "Push Th' Little Daisies" ring a bell? - you'll hear a band producing insightful, incite-ful rock and see a show that's a lot of fun for the geek in all of us.
And that ain't just the rock geeks, neither. In 1995 Ween assembled a group of Nashville studio sidemen to record "12 Golden Country Greats." It is one of the best country albums of the '90s if'n you ask me. Here's hoping they pull out a coupla selections when Ween plays Wednesday, June 13, at Water Street Music Hall, 204 North Water Street, 325-5600, 8 p.m., $25-$28, all ages.
