Σχετικά με τον/την Dean Ween
Mickey Melchiondo adopted the name Dean Ween when he was a teenager in New Hope, Pennsylvania. He and friend Aaron Freeman formed Ween when they were just 14 years old. Ween, a post-punk prank infatuated with Prince, turned into a cult phenomenon in the '90s, gathering momentum as the band jumped from independents to the majors, earning a reputation as a killer live band along the way. Melchiondo started to moonlight in the '90s, mainly with the hardcore band Moistboyz, but also appearing with other artists. Ween kept going until 2012, when Freeman left the band. After a few years, Melchiondo regrouped with the Dean Ween Band, who released their first album in the fall of 2016. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
