Formed in New Hope, Pennsylvania, in 1984 by childhood friends Aaron Freeman (Gene Ween) and Mickey Melchiondo (Dean Ween), Ween built a devoted following with their fearless genre-hopping sound and offbeat humor. Blending rock, funk, country, soul, and experimental elements, the duo defied categorization while delivering sharp musicianship and cult-favorite albums like *Chocolate and Cheese* and *The Mollusk*. Celebrated for their creativity and unpredictability, Ween’s eclectic style and irreverent spirit have cemented their status as one of alternative rock’s most distinctive and enduring acts.
