WEEN AT OMMEGANG
2016 was a monumental year for comedic jammers Ween. More than four years after their last performance, the band reunited for three instantly sold out shows in each Broomfield, CO and New York, NY, made headline and festival appearances across the country, and released their first live album since 2008. GodWeenSatan: Live showcases the 2001 record release party for their classic studio album, GodWeenSatan: The Oneness. The album is available as a double LP via the official online store and digitally through iTunes and Amazon. Formed by Aaron Freeman and Mickey Melchiondo, Jr. in New Hope, PA, Ween has taken on a cult-like status with legions of devoted fans around the world. Beginning with six self-released cassettes in the 1980s followed by 11 studio albums, 6 live albums and a smattering of EPs through the 1990s and 2000s, Ween’s recorded output is far-reaching in its styles moving from rock to punk to psychedelic to country to alternative and all points in between. However, it’s the band’s incendiary live shows that have truly cultivated its diehard fan base. Ween consists of Gene and Dean Ween alongside longtime band members Claude Coleman, Jr. (drums), Dave Dreiwitz (bass) and Glenn McClelland (keyboards).
They’ll be performing on Friday, June 9th at Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown. Doors open at 5pm and music starts at 7pm. The show is all ages. Tickets are $45 in advance, available now through dspshows.com or ommegang.com. Camping is sold out. Brewery Ommegang is located at 656 County Highway 33 in Cooperstown, NY.
