Thereās no in betWEEN with these outsiders of oddball rock, as folks either love āem or they donāt. Ween, who started as a duo back some 27 years ago in the age of the anarchic, lo-fi punk scene has steadily built a rabid following for their offbeat yet engaging brand of rock. Brothers Gene and Dean Ween (like the Ramones, not really brothers) handle all the guitar and vocals and tour these days as a five piece with drums, bass and keyboards buoying their sound. Back in the day there were those who dismissed Ween as a stoner joke band who sang songs about burritos and bongs, but the bandās longevity (17 albums worth!) is proof positive that their work resonates deeply with their legion of loyal fans. Underneath the loud and distorted guitars and the occasional wrestles with avoiding a train-wreck on stage, the guys write some stellar songsā¦thatās probably the reason Phish occasionally covers the bandās āThe Roses Are Freeā. And since High Sierra is a place where bands usually shine their brightest Ween fans should be primed for a special set.
