Biography
Ween was an American alternative rock band formed in 1984 in New Hope, Pennsylvania.

Their music was characterized by an eclectic style that incorporated various genres, often infused with humor and absurdity. Although Ween remained relatively unknown in mainstream pop music, they garnered a dedicated cult following over their nearly three-decade career. The band's run concluded in 2012 when Freeman left, effectively disbanding Ween.
