Ween @ Fillmore Auditorium, December 29 - 31 It's a long drive from Chicago to Denver, about 16 hours. The payoff for avoiding car madness from mundane scenery? A New Year's Eve celebration featuring three nights of Ween at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver. For a Ween fanatic it doesn't get much better than that. Ween transformed the Fillmore into brown town on December 29-31. Fan anticipation for the shows was off the charts for the band had not performed a New Year's show since 1998. [...]

It has been a colorful year of highs and lows for eclectic rockers Ween . The band entered 2011 on a low note with co-frontman Gene Ween's January meltdown onstage in Vancouver. Luckily Ween bounced back with a string of fiery festival sets, an acoustic tour featuring Gene and bassist Dave Dreiwitz, the release of the Caesar Demos and a sold-out Halloween show at the Hammerstein Ballroom in Manhattan . To end the year right Ween is invading Denver's Fillmore Auditorium for a three-night New Year's [...]
As we prepare to feast today I thought I'd post some songs about love and giving a big thanks to the Review Stalker readers, Twitter Followers, music fans and bands. All 3 of you know who you are so a sincere thank you! Finding good songs that are a true thank you was hard. Anyway, It was little over a year ago we went big time with the official RS blog domain. Everybody wants to own their own brand. Right? The unofficial one lived for many years on blogger. Not a huge leap really just more control on [...]
Neil Young's Ohio, made famous by Crosby Stills Nash & Young, is a protest song referencing the horrible events at Kent State University on May 4th, 1970 that left four dead and nine injured. Recorded just three weeks after the fact, it was pressed to single and rushed to radio stations with the B-Side Find The Cost of Freedom. The Contestants: Artist : Anders Osborne & Big Chief Monk Boudreaux Album : Bury the Hatchet [...]

Considering the inauspicious start Ween got off to this year in Vancouver , we didn't have high hopes for our favorite purveyors of brown in 2011. Yet the New Hope natives have persevered and continue to string together outstanding performances. The group's latest show took place at the Hammerstein Ballroom last night where all the members besides drummer Claude Coleman dressed as sailors. Claude apparently wasn't having any of that and dressed as Rick James. [Photo by Spoonman462 ] Ween pulled from every era of their lengthy career [...]
We just got hit with the first snowfall of the season here in NYC. Even though the weather's starting to chill out, the live shows are keeping up the heat. Check out my preview of the week's shows with some videos of my top picks, including Ween, Battles, and Steve Kimock & Friends. Monday's all [...]

As Rocktober draws to a close, there's little left to do but get all dressed up in Drive jackets and Kahl Drogo / Khaleesi from Game of Thrones and host a fun little party. The question arises: Do we get this party started or do we stick with the spookiness of Halloween? We decided to go with the latter and make a playlist (via Spotify ) of some of our favorite, scary, messed up, shifty, and uncomfortable songs to guarantee to to anything but get the party started. Well, it depends [...]
Ween at Central Park ( more by Andrew St. Clair ) If you planned on spending Halloween with Deaner and Gener this year but didn't get tickets, sorry ladies & gentlemen but you are officially S.O.L. ; Hammerstein is sold-out. Fortunately, you can still spend a night with Gene Ween on December 3rd , when Gene Ween and Dave Dreiwitz hit Brooklyn Bowl . Tickets are still on sale. They also play [...]
We keep our eyes peeled for new tour dates announcements each week and compile them on Tuesdays for this handy column… Last year, former Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters celebrated the 30th anniversary of The Wall by mounting an extensive world tour, that was touted for its updated multi-media presentation of the iconic album. Last week, Waters revealed to Rolling Stone , whose latest issue features a cover story on the legendary psychedelic rock band, that he would be bringing the tour back to the United States next [...]
Dean Ween, guitarist and founding member of long running avant-pop duo Ween will be hosting "Dean Ween's October Classic," a charity baseball game (baseball! not softball) Sunday October 2 at the New Hope High School (182 West Bridge Street) in his native New Hope, Pennsylvania with all proceeds benefiting the American Cancer Society. Gates open at 12:30PM and game time is 1:30PM. Admission is $5. Ween lead singer Gene Ween will be performing the National Anthem, and Glenn McClelland (Ween,...
They're only really mentioning Dean, Gene (who will sing the National Anthem), Glenn McClelland (who will play organ) & Josh (who is not part of the reunited Kyuss ), but I think that's enough reason to go to this Ween hometown charity event on Sunday (10/2). New Hope, PA is a beautiful place to visit anyway if you haven't been. More Ween events, including Halloween at Hammerstein Ballroom , listed below...

I was at a big time industry dinner awards event at a real fancy NYC venue last night. ... 350 of the big boys in my chosen vocation ... real big boys...owners of billion dollar companies, execs , pillars of the industry. Fancy finger foods, open bar, expensive suits. And me. My suit costs less than most of these fuckers hankies. En Why See Police commisioner Ray Kelly was the honoree. He spoke about being vigilant in the post 9/11 era. Whoever wrote his [...]
Gene Ween and Dave Dreiwitz @ Otto's - September 9 On September 9, Midwestern Ween fans journeyed through rain and the cornfields of Western Illinois to Otto's, a small venue set in the college town of Dekalb. The occasion promised an acoustic evening featuring Ween co-founder Aaron Freeman (aka Gene Ween ) and bassist Dave Dreiwitz. The two stepped away from their usual electric shenanigans and together, armed with an acoustic guitar and electric bass respectively, performed stripped down versions of Ween classics. Included in the mix were Gene Ween Band rarities plus a [...]
Our friend Nick Irving was able to get a last-minute trip in to see moe.down this year and he brought us back a nice little gallery of photos from the fest. There's a few shots in there of the crowd, the vibes, and some Ween . He also managed to shoot Rubblebucket (again) and he got plenty of moe. throughout the weekend as well. Next year we need to ask for a photo pass earlier to get some of the crunchy shots you'd expect, but for now enjoy was Nick [...]
