- Ween was an American experimental rock band. They formed in 1984 in New Hope, Pennsylvania when central members Aaron Freeman and Mickey Melchiondo met in an eighth grade typing class. Ween has a large cult underground fanbase despite being less known in American pop music. The band's style is eclectic, and while they could generally be referred to as rock music, one of their defining tendencies has always been toward experimentation with various styles, often incorporating a strong element of humor and absurdity. Both Gene and Dean are skilled multi-instrumentalists who frequently have overdubbed various instruments on their recordings, though they also record with the regular touring band as well. Gene is normally the lead vocalist and Dean the lead guitarist. Lead singer Freeman announced to Rolling Stone on 29 May 2012 that he was "retiring Gene Ween", and a few days later, Ween's manager, Greg Frey, told fans on Facebook that Freeman had decided to "end his musical relationship with Ween," in order to "more fully explore and pursue his solo career".
- Ween es un grupo de rock alternativo estadounidense formado a mediados de los años 80 por Aaron Freeman y Mickey Melchiondo, que utilizan los seudónimos de Gene Ween y Dean Ween respectivamente. Melchiondo y Freeman se conocieron en 1984 en New Hope, Pensilvania, cuando ambos tenían 14 años, e inmediatamente formaron el grupo. Al poco tiempo comenzaron a editar casetes por su cuenta, hasta que en 1990 editaron su primer LP, GodWeenSatan: The Oneness, por medio de un sello independiente. En 1992 el dúo editó Pure Guava, su primer álbum con un sello grande. Aunque el grupo siguió editando material por medio de sellos "grandes" durante los años 90, también fundó su propio sello independiente, Chocodog. La banda es reconocida por su eclecticismo y por su estilo que ha sido descrito como posmoderno, en el que combinan letras humorísticas, surreales y políticamente incorrectas con un sonido lo-fi (en sus primeros álbumes), voces distorsionadas y una gran cantidad de influencias de artistas a los que homenajean o parodian. Esto llevó a muchos críticos a considerar al grupo como una banda que se dedica a hacer parodias, descripción que el grupo rechaza. Con el tiempo el dúo logró obtener un importante culto de seguidores, y algunos de sus álbumes, como Chocolate and Cheese y The Mollusk, obtuvieron reconocimiento por parte de la crítica. A pesar de esto, y pese a haber obtenido algo de éxito comercial (con canciones como "Push Th' Little Daisies"), la banda es poco conocida en el mainstream. Sin embargo, bandas como Phish han versionado canciones del grupo, y otras, como MGMT, Sound of Urchin y CKY, han sido influenciadas por el mismo.
