In the year twenty nineteen a tried and true fellowship of some of Bozeman’s finest musical begetters gathered in a tavern to discuss the creation of such a night one might not soon forget. For at the Filling Station on the eve of the hallows was gonna be a long night. From his own bare hands, the man, the myth, the legend, by the name of Joe Knapp forged an idea as sweet as pure guava, a tribute to Ween. A HalloWeen! The proposal took off like the stallion in a dead sprint. A massive setlist of the band’s most cherished songs was developed and divided between two bands and carefully curated for a party, your party. The soiree would conclude with a super jam with everyone on stage to deliver an awesome sound that echoes to this day. The most challenging part? Deciding who got to play what songs. This was a tender situation and was hotly debated with negotiations and trades happening in the weeks leading up to the show. No one imagined that this could be such a major sell out event but we all kissed the blarney stone and prayed. The outpour of support was overwhelming as the news sailed from Bombay to Chocolate Town.

The show was an incredible success granting the wishes of every birthday boy and girl in the valley. Drawing cheers from the mutilated lips of ghouls, peeled bananas, and blowhard sceptics in attendance. We made a vow to do it again, at the very least the next Halloween. Unfortunately, the 31st of October came and went, and another, and another. Then tragically we lost our Captain, Joe. Though we all wish he would stay forever, we mustered the courage to know that even if all this will end, it will begin again. Well friends, the time has finally come to fulfill that promise.

Introducing Object: A tribute to Ween and we’d like to get to know you better. But first, let’s introduce ourselves. Tim Rooney AKA Dr. Rock, frontman of this headlining act deserves the bulk of the credit for putting together this HalloWeen revisited line up. Tim will be singing and screaming his head off and ripping guitar as well.  Adam Lee Crowson will be taking you back to basom and handle low end duties to accompany his powder blue vocals. Bill Hyland will be driving you crazy with his boogie oogie oogie on lead guitar and assorted background shouting. The keyboards will be in the capable hands of one of Montana’s finest, Mike Koziel who strokes every key like an ace. And finally, tearing a rift out in space with his super sonic rhythmic vibrations is the prolific local legend, Brett Goodell.

Object will be bringing you the brownest experience possible with classics from every era of Ween, from the sweetest and softest ballads to the most raucous and abrasive hitters that you wouldn’t want your parents (or kids) to hear. Join us once again at Bozeman’s own roadhouse, The Filling Station on February 28 as we make our triumphant return. We will dedicate this and every show to the man who envisioned this whole pork roll egg and cheese in the first place, our dear brother Joe Knapp.
