The Ween.
Ween . Starting in 1984 when Gene and Dean Ween—Aaron Freeman & Mickey Melchiondo—met, and, once initial-mutual-disliking formalities had duly run their course, found a common obsession, the band was off to the races. At that point, this “band” consisted of…Gene and Dean. And a Digital Audio Tape.
A mere decade passed in this fashion, with wildly eclectic, semi-crazed music more or less the result. A Ween “cult” grew. They did, in 1994 {now with a major label}, get a band together, with humanoid bipeds, and everything. They proceeded to do whatever the hell they wanted to; I, for one, am grateful they favored that direction. Some of the most epic live performances I’ve witnessed have been those of Ween.
