| Ween back at their manic best
AFTER a decade since Ween last set foot on our shores, the Pennsylvanian duo are back to achieve total rock with epic sets. Mammoth three-hour sets on the agenda. Set lists will change every night. Couples in the audience will probably get engaged. "We don't require no support band," asserts Dean Ween, coughing on a cigarette in a St Louis truck stop. "I love playing that long because at some point we always achieve total rock." Ween have a remarkable back catalogue. Hum/croon each of these for a moment: Freedom of '76, I Can't Put My Finger On It, Mutilated Lips, Waving My Dick In The Wind, Voodoo Lady and Even If You Don't. More than you thought, huh? Add to that the classics on Ween's recently released studio album La Cucaracha. Those of you who are Ween-savvy – and indeed one with GodWeenSatan: The Oneness – will be familiar with the new tunes.
