About
Ween, Three decades of eclectic American alternative rock from New Hope.
4 key LPs including Chocolate and Cheese and 12 Golden Country Greats, collectible pressings and limited colored vinyl editions.
Ween formed in 1984 as a duo with Aaron Freeman (Gene Ween) and Mickey Melchiondo (Dean Ween) before expanding to a full band setup in 1996. Their music defies easy categorization, spanning alternative rock, post-punk, psychedelic and country rock among others. Over the years, Ween released several studio albums and live records that have become sought-after on vinyl due to their distinctive style and limited pressings. Rhino Records currently handles many of their reissues, including colored vinyl editions in deluxe formats.
