Z-Rock Hawaii is the name of the debut (and only) self-titled album by Z-Rock Hawaii,released in 1996. The supergroup features Gene Ween,Dean Ween and Claude Coleman Jr. of Ween collaborating with Yamantaka Eye,Seiichi Yamamoto,Yoshimi P-We,and Yoshikawa Toyohito of Boredoms.
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". [3] 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, [4] [5] but as of 2024,no follow up has been released.
