Around 1984 or 1985 in Middle school typing class. The Boognish appeared and offered them the scepters of wealth and power. (It's not too clear if they got them yet). Subsequently they started messing around with home recording, and formed Ween basically to make recordings to amuse their friends and themselves. They were introduced by a mutual friend Scott Lowe through a bond of avant garde music.

Who is Ween?

Ween is a band formed of the brothers Gene and Dean Ween.
