History
In 1994, during the recording of
Chocolate & Cheese, Gene Ween, Dean Ween and Claude Coleman Jr. of Ween collaborated with Japanese
noise rock band Boredoms on a project released two years later as
Z-Rock Hawaii. Melchiondo had become a big fan of Boredoms upon seeing them live in
Philadelphia in 1993, calling them "the heaviest band he had ever seen since the
Butthole Surfers".
Prior to that, Boredoms frontman Yamantaka Eye had released an album that heavily sampled Ween's
The Pod.
There were plans for a second Z-Rock Hawaii album in 2001,
