Gene Ween is the singing half of the genre-hopping psychedelic freakout known as Ween!

Look for “Gener” and band to play some stripped down versions of classic Ween favorites as well as original material. The band features Dave Dreiwitz (Ween bassist) on bass, Scott Metzger (RANA, American Babies) on guitars, and Joe Russo (Benevento/Russo Duo, American Babies) on drums.

Ween began back in 1984 as a project between two high school buddies who shed their names into the mists of the 80’s and emerged as Gene and Dean Ween. The duo built a huge underground following with volume after volume of home recordings bootlegged around through friends and the internet. Their songs were eventually coddled into albums released on Elektra throughout the 90’s and early 00’s. Ween built a reputation for the unexpected releasing a country album, nautical album, and a beatles influenced pop album in quick succession. After touring in support of their 2007 release La Cucaracha, the guys took a much needed break. Gene came out of the minor hiatus with a new project, the Gene Ween band, and Dean started an online fishing show called Browine Troop Fishing Show.
