and what drugs are they on?

I've heard the band name before but never any of the music until a few days ago. I think it's 2 brothers? The vocals remind me of XTC guy Andy Partridge (sp?), and the music ranges from drug haze mellow, to just plain messed up.
I'm not hating them but I can't figure out how to describe them.
Anyone have any thoughts on them?

They go by the names Dean & Gene Ween, but they aren't related. I saw them live last year, very excellent show. If you're interested in hearing more of their stuff...check out Pure Guava or God Ween Satan: The Oneness. Songs to explore:

Don't Get 2 Close 2 My Fantasy
Roses Are Free
LMLYP
Bananas And Blow
The Mollusk
Reggaejunkiejew
Spinal Meningitis (Got Me Down)
Monique The Freak
Don't Laugh (I Love You)
Baby Bitch

One of Nate's favorite bands. He gave me a few songs but they wouldn't work. All I know is that their style is .. varied.

Haha, I heard Bananas and Blow last night! Pretty cool song but it's one of the reasons I want to know what drugs these guys are on. :wink:
I didn't know they were just stage names but I thought it was kinda weird that someone would name their kids Gene and Dean Ween unless they wanted them to grow up write music like this!

I'll be listening to more of them I think if for no other reason than to see what else they got up their sleeves because so far every song I've heard is completely different from every other song.

Check em out 'On Demand,' there's about 30 minutes of their new DVD and it is totally killer.

I have Chocolate and Cheese and its the only album I've heard by them. Which is stupid, because I really like that album and I've had it for 6 or 7 years.

I love Ween, but I'm in the same boat as Kenny, except I've only had the album like 1 or 2 years.

I just dl'ed Chocolate and Cheese. It's good stuff. I understand that they do their recordings on 8-track recorders--really stripped down, but that might just be a rumor. They have a country album too that was recorded with a lot of legendary country sidemen that's supposed to be really good.

I believe Ween hails from the next town over from Clark...about 10 minutes that-a-way.

Yes, Ween is one of my favorite bands. They're both extremely good musicians and uber-creative.

Get Quebec if you want their latest and most accessible record.

Get GodWeenSatan if you want a sprawling, ultra fucked-up alternative masterpiece.

Get Chocolate & Cheese for some smooth funk rock.

Twelve Golden Country Greats speaks for itself.

I heard that the session guys they got in to lay down the music were extremely unimpressed when they heard the final versions of the songs.

Sample lyrics:

Ween wrote:
My dinner's on fire while she watches TV
And if you've ever wondered what it's like to be me
She takes all my money and leaves me no smokes
Yells at my buddies and insults my folks
I'm breakin' my back doin' the best that I can
She's got time for the dog and none for her man
And I'm no dope, but I can't cope
So hit the fuckin' road and piss up a rope

You can piss up a rope
And you can put on your shoes, hit the road get truckin'
Pack your bag, I don't need the ag
On your knees you big, booty bitch start suckin'
You ride my ass like a horse in a saddle
Now you're up shits creek with a turd for a paddle
And I can't cope -- piss up a rope

Uh, you can piss up a rope and feel the pissy dribble
You can piss up a rope and watch me giggle
For the last 6 months I been packin' your bag
You can wash my balls with a warm, wet rag
Till my balls feel smooth and soft like silk
I'm sick of your mouth and your 2 percent milk
And I'm no dope, but I've lost all hope
So hit the fuckin' road and piss up a rope

You can piss up a rope
And you can put on your shoes, hit the road get truckin'
Pack your bag, I don't need the ag
On your knees you big, booty bitch start suckin'
You ride my ass like a horse in a saddle
Now you're up shits creek with a turd for a paddle
And I can't cope -- piss up a rope


j.
