SUMMARY:Ween
DESCRIPTION: Event On Sale:  Sat\, Jun 13   12:00 PM  In 2002\, Henry 
	Rollins warned\, "You will get down on your filthy knees and crawl to 
	the altar that is Ween" and this September Southern California Ween fa
	ns will have the chance to do just that when the alt-rock duo performs
	 at the Grove of Anaheim\, Thursday\, September 2.Dean and Gene Ween (
	Mickey Melchiondo and Aaron Freeman) formed Ween after meeting in an 8
	th grade typing class in 1984. Their early recordings were anarchic an
	d free-spirited\, drawing on influences as far-reaching as Syd Barrett
	\, The Beatles\, Queen\, Prince\, Butthole Surfers\, and the lo-fi pun
	k movement. Pure Guava (1992) was the first of a series of releases on
	 the Elektra label and featured Ween's highest charting single\, "Push
	 Th' Little Daisies" which gained media attention and the video was hi
	ghlighted on MTV's Beavis and Butt-head. In 1994 they released Chocola
	te and Cheese followed\, heralding 70s pop/rock and soul influenced tr
	acks such as "Freedom of '76" and "Voodoo Lady\," which appeared on th
	e Road Trip (2000) soundtrack. Ween has released seven studio albums s
	ince 1994\, including their most recent album La Cucaracha in 2007. Hi
	gh Times states\, "With each studio effort\, Freeman and Melchiondo ex
	plored and deconstructed new genres\, developing an appreciable master
	y of each while finding ways to lovingly tweak and satirize them\, ren
	dering a final product that is always irreverently and undeniably Ween
	." La Cucaracha was named the 2007 Album of the Year by Magnet magazin
	e.In concert\, Ween is larger-than-life. Austin Scaggs of Rolling Ston
	e said it best when reviewing their Live in Chicago DVD (2004)\, "Ween
	's epic three-hour gigs need to be seen. In person." For their live sh
	ows\, Dean and Gene call on keyboardist Glenn McClelland\, bass player
	 Dave Dreiwitz and drummer Claude Coleman to bring the duo's digitally
	 layered music to life. In a live review\, High Times noted\, "Togethe
	r\, the five musicians eschew many of the vocal effects and strange st
	udio sounds that pervade the original material and\, with live instrum
	ents\, seek to inject a raw and rollicking energy that leaves fans tan
	talized and salivating for more."Don't miss your chance to check out W
	een live on September 2 at the Grove!
