Is also a member of the Moistboyz, a thrash-metal side band he started
with lead singer Guy Heller. Mickey and Guy refer to themselves as
Mickey Moist and Dickey Moist. Each of their albums are numbered:
MOISTBOYZ I, II, III, VI, and V (so far).
In spite of the fact that his voice is rarely heard on Ween records
(with Gene Ween doing a great majority of the singing), he is by far
the more outspoken of the two Ween boys. He even often does interviews
for the band solo, without the more elusive Gene.
He is an avid deep-sea fisherman and spends much of free time fishing from his boat.
Still lives in and around his hometown of New Hope, Pennsylvania, having consistently ignored claims that Ween would have been more successful if they had relocated to Los Angeles or New York City.
WEEN cancelled their tour before Halloween, 2004. They
had some shows still to play including a Halloween show, and had to
cancel all the dates because of an intervention, according to Dean on
the Ween.com site, needed for one of the band members. (October 2004)
He and his whole family are rabid hockey (and Philadelphia Flyers) fans.
