Voodoo Ween

Ween are playing Atomic by Jamo on Wednesday, November 4, under the name Voodoo Ween. The show starts at 8 PM, and the venue is at 4140 Manchester Ave in The Grove, right in the heart of St. Louis.

JAMO Presents is putting this one together, and they're a proudly independent concert promoter based right here in the city. If you've seen their name on other bills around town, this is the same crew. The show is billed as Voodoo Ween, which is a nod to the band's long history of playing around with their own name and the different personas they bring to the stage. It's a voodoo-themed night with Ween as the main feature, and since it's a Wednesday, it's a mid-week date that puts them in the middle of the city rather than out on a weekend circuit.

For those who know the band, Ween has spent decades building a reputation for being completely unpredictable. They've jumped between genres and styles with a level of commitment that makes the joke work, and they're just as likely to play a deep cut as they are to lean into the more recognizable songs. The Voodoo Ween branding fits right into that tradition of leaning into a theme for the night. It's a show that's as much about the atmosphere as it is about the music.

Tickets are $2, and the show kicks off at 8 PM on Wednesday, November 4, at Atomic by Jamo, 4140 Manchester Ave in The Grove.
