After an extended period of time off that found the band's individual membership developing new ideas apart (Aaron Freeman took the Gene Ween Band out on tour, doing acoustic sets of Ween songs both alone and with drummer Claude Coleman), Ween has announced that it is reconvening for a string of dates down the West Coast of the United States. This tour will mark the first occasion on which the band has indulged in regular road work since 2008 and, given the size of some of the venues on the itinerary, promises to be an affair to remember. In addition, Dean Ween was recently quoted as saying that the band has begun rehearsing for a new studio album which will probably also be released in 2009 so it's entirely possible that those in attendance at the shows may just get treated to some all-new material. Either way and no matter what, the excitement behind the tour is palpable as Ween's fan bulletin boards have lit up at the announcement of the shows and ticket availability has already grown short.
