Biography
New Hope, Pennsylvania, United States (1984 – 2012)
The band’s style is eclectic, and while they could generally be referred to as rock, one of their defining tendencies has been experimentation with various styles incorporating a strong element of humor and absurdity. Both Gene and Dean are skilled multi-instrumentalists who overdubbed various instruments on their recordings, though they also record with the regular touring band.
Their earliest home recordings were anarchic and free-spirited, drawing on influences as far-reaching as Beatles, Queen, Prince, Butthole Surfers, The Residents and the lo-fi punk movement. Ween was often compared in their early years to other offbeat artists such as Frank Zappa and would always eschew such comparisons.
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.

It's a pity they didn't do an album or an EP of "It's Gonna Be A Long Night" type songs.

I love all Ween but lately it's all been about early lo-fi Ween and B-Sides & Rarities. Nothing makes me want to start recording music more than Ween.
