Ween fills out late-year road schedule
Alt-rock eccentrics Ween have put the finishing touches on their fall/winter tour, which finds them supporting the forthcoming "La Cucaracha," the band's first studio set in four years.
Dean and Gene Ween--a.k.a. Mickey Melchiondo and Aaron Freeman--will kick off their late-year road trip Oct. 17 in Bloomington, IN, with visits to 26 cities planned for a tour that now stretches into early December. All dates are below.
"La Cucaracha," the duo's new studio album and first for the Rounder label, is due to hit stores Oct. 23. The disc is the band's first full-length release since 2003's "Quebec."
The set was recorded "in a rented, moldy 200-year-old farmhouse in our hometown of New Hope, PA," according to Dean Ween, who labeled it in a press statement "a party record, unlike our last record which was more of a Jonestown type party vibe. This record is a lot more fun because that's where we're at right now."
An EP, "Friends," appeared in June, the set containing five original songs, none of which appear on "Cucaracha." The EP can only be ordered through the duo's website.
