Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

A Loss for Words

If anyone reading this can define the enigma that is Ween, we’d like to offer you a job. OK, not really. But still, attempting to put into words the marvelously oddball musical shenanigans of Gene and Dean Ween is a challenging proposition. Or maybe not. Just grab a thesaurus and read every entry for the word “eclectic.” Chances are each synonym would work — and maybe even a few antonyms, too. There are literally thousands of ways you could describe Ween. So we’ll keep our description simple and offer only this: awesome. Catch Ween this Saturday, July 11, with Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra at Burlington’s Waterfront Park as part of the Burlington International Waterfront Festival.
