This is very cool news. Ween is one of my all time favorite "Alternative" bands. I do hope Gene Ween shows-up for a couple of songs too! "Ocean Man", "Piss-up a Rope", "Monique the Freak", "Big Fat F..ck"..... Can't wait to hear Freeman's new stuff, VERY COOL!!!!!

I think thigs are still pretty nasty between them so I doubt it. But this will be a great add.
This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.
What happens if I take both?

This is a family friendly fest, so while I can't say for sure that Freeman will leave "Gene" at home, I'm pretty sure Piss Up A Rope and Big Fat F*ck are out. Likewise Poop Ship Destroyer, Put The Coke On My D*ck, Mr. Richard Smoker etc.
So Long, Jerry could go either way...

Great find, tugboatcharlie!
Interesting booking, I knew Ween broke up, but I didn't know Aaron was already off and running with a new project. If he is busting out Ween songs, I'm definitely down for it.
Could this actually end up being at the Triangle? A late-night setting such as that might be more appropriate.
As someone who was only a casual Ween fan, I'm not sure if this addition would be on the same "tier" as anything that's been announced thus far. Maybe it gets announced this week, but I hope not.

My thoughts exactly.As someone who was only a casual Ween fan, I'm not sure if this addition would be on the same "tier" as anything that's been announced thus far. Maybe it gets announced this week, but I hope not.
If you were alive and going to shows back when Ween was still putting out cassette tapes, this is a head and shoulders above some of the stuff that's been announced.
Allow me to indulge in a little more wishful thinking: Dweezil Zappa doing Zappa does Zappa in 2015!

We will have to see if Freeman is up to Ween standards before I am ready to say head and shoulders above any of the other acts already announced. But there certainly is that possibility. And I agree this would be perfect for the late night triangle stage.

Didn't say "any." Said "some."We will have to see if Freeman is up to Ween standards before I am ready to say head and shoulders above any of the other acts already announced. But there certainly is that possibility. And I agree this would be perfect for the late night triangle stage.
Everyone's entitled to their opinion and tastes. I, for instance, don't give a black damn about Grace Potter. I'll be there though, because A: my wife likes her, and B: women are way underrepresented at this, and other, fests.
Where's TTB when you need them? C'mon, Lockn' promoters!

Don't get me wrong. Freeman could well end up being the blow up set of the fest. They are just an unknown quantity to me at this point.
And you are correct about women being under represented at this and most other fests. The one exception that we went to last year was only a couple miles away at Festy Experience. That is the Stringdusters festival across the ridge in Nellysford. Della Mae, Nicki Bluhm (3 sets), Sarah Siskind, Aoife O'Donovan, Lake Street Dive and some of the other bands that played but I forget which ones were fronted by women. Enough so that it was noticeable and several of the women commented on it.

In this case Bill, we are of one mind. Still, women are underrepresented in this scene. I, for one, would love to see Donna the Buffalo at this and not just because Ithaca's practically a second home for me. Alas, they're wrapping up an extensive tour the week before, so I guess not.

Where I grew up is about halfway between Ithaca, NY and State College, PA. Or according to this list, the two smartest towns in America.

So I'm trying to look up Freeman shows without a lot of success. I've listened to a little Ween but wanting to hear more of his solo stuff, can anybody help me out?

Go to YouTube and search for Aaron Freeman. There's few of his new songs there.So I'm trying to look up Freeman shows without a lot of success. I've listened to a little Ween but wanting to hear more of his solo stuff, can anybody help me out?

NPR music just did a 7 minute news article on this new creation. It's a good listen especially hearing him be so open & honest & humble.
Plus Dave Dreiwtiz <sp?> will be on site. Hopefully they kiss on stage and make up and play YOUR PARTY because 2007 was a great year for WEEN. Is it too soon to use the word vintage??
