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.

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 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, but as of 2024, no follow up has been released.
