Ween is an American alternative rock group formed in 1984 in New Hope, Pennsylvania when Aaron Freeman and Mickey Melchiondo met in an eighth grade typing class.[1] The pair became known respectively as Gene Ween and Dean Ween. Ween has a large underground fanbase despite being generally unknown in American pop music.
Early years
Their earliest home recordings were anarchic and free-spirited, drawing on influences as far-reaching as Syd Barrett, The Beatles, Queen, Prince, Butthole Surfers, The Residents, and the lo-fi punk movement. They self-released six cassettes in the late eighties: Mrs. Slack, The Crucial Squeegie Lip, Axis: Bold as Boognish, Erica Peterson’s Flaming Crib Death, The Live Brain Wedgie/WAD, and Prime 5. Around this time, Gene also released his own tape, Synthetic Socks, which featured Dean on a few songs. Ween was often compared in their early years to other offbeat artists such as Frank Zappa and Tom Waits, though they would eschew such comparisons. Ween’s public debut was a “Purple Haze” cover closing a 1987 talent show; the piece featured a solo, stand-up, acoustic bass and Lauren “Rainbow” Fihe, from Elwood, Indiana, on drums.
Major releases
Ween was signed to Twin/Tone Records in 1989 and released their first album GodWeenSatan: The Oneness in the following year, a 26-track smorgasbord of wild eclecticism. The band’s second album, 1991’s The Pod, became a fast fan favorite, as the duo’s use of drum machines, pitch-tweaked guitars and vocals and drug-laced humor became a trademark part of their sound.

Seeing Ween live was great, and yet it was totally unsatisfying, because the instant it ended I just wanted to see them again. It's hard to even listen to them without feeling frustrated about it.

How come they never did a Christmas album? I would play it on repeat right through the holiday season for sure but as it stands I have to settle for The Beach boys and The Ventures' festive efforts.
