I asked Dean Ween about Z-Rock Hawaii:
A- I get asked this so often that I figured it’s time to answer it. Way, way, back (like in 1993) Andrew Weiss took me to see Boredoms first in Philadelphia, and then again in Hoboken a day or two later. They were the heaviest band I had ever seen since the Butthole Surfers, but on a similar level of psychedelic transcendence with a Japanese point of reference that was unlike anything before or since. Last time I saw them a few years ago they were just as heavy and still evolving. At the time not a lot of people knew their music stateside, but the singer of the the band Yamatsuka Eye had released a solo album full of samples of “The Pod” so we knew he was a fan. After meeting at these 2 shows we arranged for him to come to our studio (we were working on “Chocolate and Cheese” in Pennington, NJ) and he stayed with me and my family for about a week. His English was minimal at best and he spent the whole time at my house roughhousing with my border collie Jimmy, which I loved. He couldn’t get enough of Jimmy, throwing the ball, chasing the stick, it was incredible to see and Jimmy loved it, being a Border Collie and all. Not being able to really communicate in the studio was an advantage, we tried anything and everything. He spent time inventing contraptions to sing through, like an Evian bottle as a megaphone taped to a snare head with the other side mic’ed up with vibrating snares, shit like that. He was an animal on the microphone. One night he and I were driving home at 3am and a deer jumped in front of my little Nissan. I totalled the car and the deer lay dead, steaming in the road. Eye was going batshit, I dunno if he’d ever seen a deer in person and I was laughing my ass off, it’s pretty typical around here to run into deer and I hated the car. Anyway, after he left he went back to Japan and the Boredoms wrote the second half of the album and mailed it over to us. We overdubbed our tracks and that was that. Eye named the band “Z-Rock Hawaii” which was the most perfect name in the world for the record. In the studio it was just me, Aaron, and Andrew Weiss and Eye. I think Claude may have played some drums on there too actually. We did some 4-tracking at my house which I’ve never been able to find for some reason.

I've always wanted some Boredoms vinyl, not even anything in particular, just whatever i can find. Just looked it up on Amazon and holy crap is it expensive.

EYE Q&A re: Z-Rock Hawaii—August, 2009
How did the Z-Rock Hawaii project come about?I don’t remember exactly, but I loved Ween so I was really excited when they talked to me about it.
What do you remember about working with Ween? How was the music composed and recorded? Did you actually perform in the same room with them?I was staying at Mickey’s house. I’m pretty sure it was the house they called “The Pod." Andrew was the engineer. I don’t remember exactly how we wrote the songs, but I remember it being fun.
Were you a fan of Ween before you met them? What do you enjoy about their music?Of course I was a fan. There’s something natural about their music. Something really laid-back and spontaneous.
Since Z-Rock Hawaii was recorded around the same time as Chocolate and Cheese, do you remember hearing anything from that album before it was released? If so, what was your opinion of the material?Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to listen to it back then.
Do you have any other impressions of Chocolate and Cheese? Was it influential to the Boredoms at all?I’m not sure. I really love it, but I don’t know if it had an influence on the Boredoms.
Do you notice any general similarities between Ween and the Boredoms?Maybe it’s that we’re all geeks? (I hope that doesn’t sound rude.)

There are a horrendous number of cuts in this video but this was the best Boredoms show I've seen (out of more than a dozen).

I really, really wish they'd have released an official live recording of the drumkits + vox + electronics + guitar fence lineup by now. That volume of Super Roots with the choir kind of playing the electronics role comes closest but doesn't match the exhilaration of the shows I've seen.
