Ween: Rock Band in New York

About Ween

Ween is a rock group formed in 1984 by Aaron Freeman (Gene Ween) and Mickey Melchiondo (Dean Ween) in New Hope, Pennsylvania. Their catalog moves easily between pop structures and genre detours—psychedelia, funk, country, metal, and punk—often with a comic edge and abrupt stylistic turns. With a strong neo-psychedelic following and a sizable audience on streaming platforms, they remain a reference point for bands working in pastiche and parody. In New York City rooms like Mercury Lounge, their songs also circulate through local cover bills and scene crossovers.
