▓████▓▌ [ A B O U T . T H i S . R E L E A S E ] ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1984 - Aaron Freeman and Mickey Melchiondo meet in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 8th grade typing class at New Hope-Solebury High ▓▌
▓████▓▌ School in Pennsylvania. Both are making home ▓▌
▓████▓▌ recordings at the time and begin swapping records ▓▌
▓████▓▌ from their collections. The boys are visited by the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ demon-god BOOGNISH, prompting them to form WEEN and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ assume the alter egos Dean and Gene Ween. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1985 -Ween skips all developmental stages of being ▓▌
▓████▓▌ a rock band and are hopelessly addicted to drugs by ▓▌
▓████▓▌ age 15. First of two cassettes and an EP released ▓▌
▓████▓▌ on Bird O' Pray (intentional misspelling, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ fact-checkers) Records, Trenton, NJ label run by ▓▌
▓████▓▌ friends of Ween Jeff Rusnak and Andrew Weiss, who ▓▌
▓████▓▌ goes on to produce much of the band's future ▓▌
▓████▓▌ output. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1986 - Ween plays first ever club show at Trenton's ▓▌
▓████▓▌ City Gardens, opening for the Butthole Surfers. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Live "outfit" comprised of Dean and Gene on guitar ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and vocals respectively, and a cassette deck with ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the drums and bass on tape. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1987- Dean and Gene are forced to attend summer ▓▌
▓████▓▌ school together after failing a number of classes, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ most notably Biology. Summer school teacher spends ▓▌
▓████▓▌ months discussing quantum physics with the boys, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ which contributes to no visible improvement in the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ songwriting. Ween wins high school talent show with ▓▌
▓████▓▌ their rendition of "Foxy Lady". ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1989 - Ween plays at a party in Maplewood, NJ, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ opening for friends Skunk, who are being scouted at ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the time by Twin-Tone Records of Minneapolis. Both ▓▌
▓████▓▌ bands are soon signed to Twin-Tone and Ween starts ▓▌
▓████▓▌ work on debut album God Ween Satan: The Oneness. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Dean and Gene are living together in New Hope on a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ horse farm, working at a gas station and a local ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Mexican restaurant. Ween is booed off stage opening ▓▌
▓████▓▌ for Fugazi by a capacity crowd at City Gardens, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ establishing a pattern that will continue for the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ next couple of years. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1990 - God Ween Satan: The Oneness is released. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Arguably the band's masterwork. The26-song double ▓▌
▓████▓▌ record is produced by Andrew Weiss (who is by then ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the bass player in the Rollins Band) in his living ▓▌
▓████▓▌ room and is released in 1990. Ween tours Europe ▓▌
▓████▓▌ heavily in support of the record, but never manages ▓▌
▓████▓▌ to do any American touring as Twin-Tone Records ▓▌
▓████▓▌ slowly goes out of business. Downtime is consumed ▓▌
▓████▓▌ by recording sessions at Chez Ween. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1991 - Ween comes into contact with Shimmy-Disc ▓▌
▓████▓▌ label boss Kramer, giving him some tapes of the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 4-track home recorded material. Both parties agree ▓▌
▓████▓▌ to release the material as is. The tapes become ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Ween's second album, and quite possibly the unit's ▓▌
▓████▓▌ magnum opus, The Pod. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1992 - Planning to release another album's worth of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 4-track tapes on an independent label, Ween is ▓▌
▓████▓▌ approached by Steve Ralbovsky, then of Elektra ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Records, who agrees to release that record, once ▓▌
▓████▓▌ again, "as is." ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1993 - Pure Guava is released on Elektra in 1993. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Though essentially a continuation of The Pod, it is ▓▌
▓████▓▌ lauded by many as the combo's defining moment. Ween ▓▌
▓████▓▌ tours as a duo for the remainder of the year, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ playing in America, Canada, Europe, and Australia ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (where "Push th' Little Daisies," the first ever ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Ween "single", actually cracks the top ten). ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1994 - Much of the year is spent making the fourth ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Ween album, for which Gene and Dean switch to a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ full band format onstage, and also bid fond adieu ▓▌
▓████▓▌ to the 4 track. Chocolate and Cheese, recorded and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ produced by Andrew Weiss (who leaves the Rollins ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Band and joins Ween as full-time bass player) in a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ rented industrial space in Pennington, NJ, is ▓▌
▓████▓▌ released in the fall of 1994. It is hailed as an ▓▌
▓████▓▌ instant classic, perhaps the apex of the Ween ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ouevre. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (Also recorded during the C&C sessions is the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Z-Rock Hawaii album, a collaboration between Ween ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and Japan's Boredoms.) ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Chocolate and Cheese is supported by a year-long ▓▌
▓████▓▌ world tour and no less than three singles, "I Can't ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Put my Finger On It", "Voodoo Lady", and "Freedom ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Of '76." A video for "Freedom" is directed by Spike ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Jonze, and is played on MTV, by the band's account, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "like once." ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1995 - Following a lengthy break, work begins on ▓▌
▓████▓▌ material for the next Ween album. After a few ▓▌
▓████▓▌ months of writing, the band realizes that they've ▓▌
▓████▓▌ compiled a good number of tunes with a country and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ western flavor. They begin to investigate the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ possibility of making a record in Nashville, using ▓▌
▓████▓▌ session musicians from the golden age of country. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ With the help of friend Ben Vaughn (who had ▓▌
▓████▓▌ produced records in Nashville before), Ween ▓▌
▓████▓▌ compiles a list of potential players for the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ record. The core band is assembled by Charlie ▓▌
▓████▓▌ McCoy, most famous for his work on Bob Dylan's ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Nashville period albums, Blonde on Blonde and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Nashville Skyline. With the help of Ben and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Charlie, Ween rounds up 12 of the best living ▓▌
▓████▓▌ players in Nashville, four of whom are named ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Buddy", and book an eight-day session in November ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1995. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1996 - While Ween originally has no intention of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ releasing the sessions (work continues on a "real" ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Ween album all the while), it is decided that they ▓▌
▓████▓▌ are too good to shelve. Hence: The fifth Ween ▓▌
▓████▓▌ album, 12 Golden Country Greats, released in 1996 ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and unequivocally perceived as the ensemble's ▓▌
▓████▓▌ foremost contribution to the C&W canon. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Despite having no plans to tour in support of the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ record (most of the players have long since ▓▌
▓████▓▌ forsaken the road), Ween are able to organize a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ scaled down version of the Nashville band for two ▓▌
▓████▓▌ shows at Tramps in New York. The band is led by ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Bobby Ogdin, one of the album's piano players as ▓▌
▓████▓▌ well as an alumnus of Elvis Presley's 1970s band. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Spurred by the success of these shows, everyone in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the band commits to a one-month U.S. tour in the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ fall of 1996. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1996-1997 - Having long discussed the possibility ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of making music at the virtually deserted beach ▓▌
▓████▓▌ during the winter months, Ween rents a house on the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ocean at Long Beach Island, NJ. As no material is ▓▌
▓████▓▌ written prior to moving into the beach house, the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ environment plays a major role in the songwriting ▓▌
▓████▓▌ process, manifesting itself in a very heavy ▓▌
▓████▓▌ nautical theme. Days are spent fishing, recording ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and drinking heavily. Three or four months into ▓▌
▓████▓▌ this process, the house's pipes freeze and burst, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ flooding and ruining the beach house studio. While ▓▌
▓████▓▌ damage to the tapes and equipment is minor, Ween ▓▌
▓████▓▌ are forced to evacuate the premises and finish the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ album at home with Andrew Weiss producing and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ mixing. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1997 - The Mollusk, universally recognized as the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ sixth Ween album. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1997-1999 - The release of The Mollusk is followed ▓▌
▓████▓▌ by the heaviest amount of touring yet. By this ▓▌
▓████▓▌ point, the Ween live experience has expanded to a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ five-piece band playing three to four hours per ▓▌
▓████▓▌ night. Ween's longstanding open taping policy gives ▓▌
▓████▓▌ rise to an ever-increasing number of shows being ▓▌
▓████▓▌ traded by fans over the Internet. The band decides ▓▌
▓████▓▌ to compile a live retrospective double CD to be ▓▌
▓████▓▌ sold exclusively through their website ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (www.chocodog.com/ween) but is approached by ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Elektra, who ultimately releases Paintin' The Town ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Brown--Ween Live '90-'98 in the summer of 1999. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1999 - Material for the seventh proper Ween album ▓▌
▓████▓▌ takes place in a rented cottage in Maine, as well ▓▌
▓████▓▌ as at the once-flooded, now refurbished Mollusk ▓▌
▓████▓▌ beach house. Recording commences in September at ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Bearsville Studios in Woodstock, NY. Chris Shaw is ▓▌
▓████▓▌ chosen to record the material, primarily due to his ▓▌
▓████▓▌ involvement on Ween's two favorite Public Enemy ▓▌
▓████▓▌ records. ("You can really feel the 'black rage' ▓▌
▓████▓▌ that Chris brings to the project," comments the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ band.) ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 2000 - A few distinct factors distinguish the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ resultant White Pepper from the rest of the Ween ▓▌
▓████▓▌ catalog. Firstly, the entire record is recorded in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ a "band" format, more parallel to the Ween live ▓▌
▓████▓▌ experience. Also, there is a notable lack of the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ word "fuck" anywhere on the record. No one can ▓▌
▓████▓▌ explain how the fuck this happened. Additionally, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the mind enhancing drugs in the Ween diet are ▓▌
▓████▓▌ replaced with alcohol and pharmaceuticals, giving ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the band new insight into the psyche of working ▓▌
▓████▓▌ class America. The record also features strings, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ horns, and female backup singers... "three very bad ▓▌
▓████▓▌ signs for the future of Ween," says the band. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 2003 - Quebec is the eighth studio album by Ween ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and the first since 2000Æs ôWhite Pepperö ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (Elektra). Ween have stayed busy since the last ▓▌
▓████▓▌ record, releasing 2 live albums thru their website ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (www.ween.com), composing music for WBÆs ôGrounded ▓▌
▓████▓▌ for Life sitcom, touring sporadically, and getting ▓▌
▓████▓▌ fired by ad agencies who hired them to make music ▓▌
▓████▓▌ for tv commercials. Like most of their catalog, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ this record was produced by Andrew Weiss and was ▓▌
▓████▓▌ recorded in a combination of living rooms, garages, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and rented vacation houses up and down the east ▓▌
▓████▓▌ coast. ôQuebecö is a dark, moody, psychedelic ▓▌
▓████▓▌ record and clocks in at just under one hour. It is ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the result of about two years worth of recording, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ therapy, and misuse of pharmaceutical drugs and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ alcohol. The record was designed so that if someone ▓▌
▓████▓▌ were to walk in the room and heard it playing at ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ANY volume they should ask you ôwhat the hell are ▓▌
▓████▓▌ you listening to?öùand then walk out. Ween doesnÆt ▓▌
▓████▓▌ necessarily think that this will be the record that ▓▌
▓████▓▌ breaks them through at radio. Actually they could ▓▌
▓████▓▌ care less anymore---instead they plan on raping ▓▌
▓████▓▌ their core audience of fans who will buy just about ▓▌
▓████▓▌ anything they release. This includes 4 cd live ▓▌
▓████▓▌ albums that were recorded on cassettes. If that ▓▌
▓████▓▌ plan were to fail, Ween instead plan on trying to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ steal fans from the burgeoning ôjam-bandö scene, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ where they are becoming increasingly popular. So ▓▌
▓████▓▌ far people have been fooled, but no oneÆs sure how ▓▌
▓████▓▌ much longer it will last, because historically, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Ween have managed to alienate themselves from just ▓▌
▓████▓▌ about everyone including their most die-hard fans ▓▌
▓████▓▌ at one time or another. Ween have done on a world ▓▌
▓████▓▌ tour upon the release of ôQuebecö. The bandÆs 3 and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 4 hour live performances and constantly changing ▓▌
▓████▓▌ setlists have become a huge part of the Ween ▓▌
▓████▓▌ experience. This, coupled with the fact that Phish ▓▌
▓████▓▌ have been covering some Ween tunes explains the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ increased presence of patchouli oil stink at Ween ▓▌
▓████▓▌ shows the past few years. This record is truly ▓▌
▓████▓▌ great nonetheless, maybe one of the best records ▓▌
▓████▓▌ theyÆve made in the last 3 years; it is dark and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ murky at times, musically intricate and beautiful ▓▌
▓████▓▌ at other times; and like some of WeenÆs best music, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ it is also cheap and over the top as well. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Sept 5, 2005 û SHINOLA VOL. 1 ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "SHINOLA VOL. 1 is a collection of odds, ends, and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ leftovers from around our studio and contains ▓▌
▓████▓▌ killer new mixes of a lot of songs that have been ▓▌
▓████▓▌ floating around. I don't mind telling you that it's ▓▌
▓████▓▌ a really great record. The record was produced and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ mixed by Andrew Weiss and Ween and it's an ugly ▓▌
▓████▓▌ one. You really wanna pick this up, I'm not ▓▌
▓████▓▌ shitting you.ö ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (Dean Ween) ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ô. to pin a moniker on Ween is like tackling a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ greased pig. The band nimbly works its way through ▓▌
▓████▓▌ disparate topics and styles. From the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ marine-flavoured prog-rock of their latest, ôThe ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Molluskö to the psycho twangcore country sound of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ôTwelve Golden Country Greatsö, the band continues ▓▌
▓████▓▌ to feast on every musical style they can get their ▓▌
▓████▓▌ hooks into. Ween consumes popular culture at a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ furious rate, regurgitating demented ▓▌
▓████▓▌ interpretations to the delight of their fans. Via ▓▌
▓████▓▌ peculiar guitar and voice effects and crackpot ▓▌
▓████▓▌ grooves, the band has become known for their takes ▓▌
▓████▓▌ on standard musical tropes ranging from Irish folk ▓▌
▓████▓▌ to 70s era stadium rock. Ween reflects what they ▓▌
▓████▓▌ see like a carnival mirror -- twisted and just a ▓▌
