“维恩”乐队成立于1984年,由迪安·维恩( DeanWeen)和吉恩·维恩(Gene Ween)兄弟俩组建

维恩兄弟俩14岁时开始对音乐着迷,并且发现了在迷幻状态下控制家庭录音机制作噪音的乐趣。就这样,他们做出了包括多种音乐风格的上千首作品。在出版过两张专辑之后,1990年,他们以“维恩”的名字推出首张专辑God Ween Satan:The Oneness(上帝维恩撒旦:三位一体)这张专辑获得了成功,吸引了唱片公司的目光。1991年,“维恩”出版了第二张专辑The Pod ( 豆荚),这也是乐队的代表之作。《豆荚》使“维恩”乐队拓展了音乐风格,包括流行歌曲、古怪的民歌和神秘的’‘硬摇滚”(HardRock)这张有突破性的唱片吸引了更大的唱片公司

1992年,“维恩”出版了Pure Guava(纯粹番石榴)专辑,这张古怪而精彩的唱片中产生了一首在MTV网中频繁播放的歌曲“Push Th Little Daisies"(摘下小雏菊)。1994年的专辑Chocolate & Cheese(巧克力和奶酪)混合了“节奏布鲁斯”(R&B)等根源音乐成分。1996年,概念专辑12 Golden Country Greats (12首黄金乡村金曲)在与众多优秀音乐家合作之下出版,音乐令人回忆起纳什维尔的黄金年代。

在1997年推出专辑The Mollusk(软体动物)之后,2000年,最新专辑White Pepper(白辣椒)出版发行。

Ween is an American alternative rock group. They formed in 1984 in New Hope, Pennsylvania when central members Aaron Freeman (Gene Ween) and Mickey Melchiondo (Dean Ween) met in an eighth grade typing class. Ween has a large cult underground fanbase despite being generally unknown in American pop music. The band's style is eclectic, and while they could generally be referred to as rock music, one of their defining tendencies has always been toward experimentation with various styles, often incorporating a strong element of humor and absurdity. Both Gene and Dean are skilled multi-instrumentalists that frequently have overdubbed various instruments on their recordings, though they also record with the regular touring band as well. Gene is normally the lead vocalist and Dean the lead guitaris
