Ween – 4 March 2008

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

WeenWeen return to Australia, and perform at Club Capitol in Perth on Tuesday 4 March 2008.

Ten years we’ve been waiting – for the return of Pennsylvania-via-New Jersey’s finest export since the Amish rocking chair, WEEN.
Just think.. since that time, WEEN have released four gloriously deranged studio albums (including the most recent La Cucuracha), between them, featuring such stone(r) cold classics as Flutes of Chi, Hey There Fancypants, Gabrielle, Friends & Spirit Walker and we haven’t seen WEEN perform any of those tracks live, EVER!

Tickets on sale through BOCS Ticketing or Moshtix for about $55.00 (BOCS Sold out not sure about Moshtix)

Doors open 8pm and Ween start at 8.30 sharp! There’s no support act.
