Ween

Ween is an American rock band from New Hope, Pennsylvania, that was formed in 1984 by Aaron Freeman and Mickey Melchiondo, better known by their respective stage names Gene Ween and Dean Ween, who are the band's sole constant members. Generally categorized as an alternative rock band, they are known for their irreverent, highly eclectic catalog of songs inspired by funk, psychedelia, soul, country, gospel, prog, R&B, heavy metal, and punk rock. Ween self-released several cassette albums from their formation until 1989, after which they officially released three lo-fi albums: GodWeenSatan: The Oneness, The Pod, and Pure Guava. For Pure Guava, the band signed with major label Elektra Records. The album spawned the single "Push th' Little Daisies", which was a chart hit in Australia and the United States. Under Elektra, the band released five professionally recorded albums: Chocolate and Cheese, 12 Golden Country Greats, The Mollusk, and White Pepper. They later returned to independent labels for the albums Quebec and La Cucaracha. Freeman quit the band in 2012 citing a need to treat his alcohol and drug abuse.
