My “Ween” YouTube playlist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ween<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is an American\u00a0alternative rock<\/a>\u00a0band formed in\u00a0New Hope, Pennsylvania<\/a>, in 1984 by childhood friends\u00a0Aaron Freeman<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Mickey Melchiondo<\/a>, better known by their respective stage names, Gene and Dean Ween. After meeting in a middle-school typing class, the two began playing music and immediately chose the name Ween as well as their\u00a0Ramones<\/a>-inspired pseudonyms.[<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Ween performed as a duo backed by a\u00a0Digital Audio Tape<\/a>\u00a0for the band’s first ten years of existence before expanding to a four- (and later five-) piece act. The band’s highest charting single is “Push th’ Little Daisies<\/a>“, which was a hit in the\u00a0United States<\/a>,\u00a0New Zealand<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Australia<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While Ween is generally categorized as an alternative rock band, they are known for their highly eclectic catalog of songs inspired by funk<\/a>,\u00a0soul<\/a>,\u00a0country<\/a>,\u00a0gospel<\/a>,\u00a0prog<\/a>,\u00a0R&B<\/a>,\u00a0heavy metal<\/a>,\u00a0punk rock<\/a>, and more. Despite never receiving much mainstream recognition, Ween developed a large, devoted\u00a0cult following<\/a>.\u00a0After a 28-year run, Freeman quit the band in 2012, citing the need to focus on his alcohol and drug addiction issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ween reformed in late 2015 and is currently touring with no stated plans to release new recorded material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[embedyt] https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed?listType=playlist&list=PLFB0C446AD473FC86&v=07WufLh1KOw&layout=gallery[\/embedyt]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My “Ween” YouTube playlist.
