pollo asado 🖤 dean & gene ween

summary + cast

vincent bradbury and brandi warrens weren't meant to be friends.

rumored to be involved in witchcraft, vincent spent most of her teenage years ducking out at the school library — when she wasn't picking up roadkill with her dad or working at el taco loco with fellow outcast aaron freeman.

in contrast, cheerleader and class of '88 salutatorian brandi was constantly wrapped up in the same routine of feigning smiles for undeserving peers, shouting lousy cheers, and laying on her back for school hotshot mickey melchiondo. 

when vincent acquires some musical equipment from the city dump, however, the girls' odd partnership gives way to something more: a homegrown lo-fi project called trashbag puppies. 

backed by vincent's energetic self-taught guitar work and brandi's frenetic drumming, the trashbag puppies are all set to get the hell out of new hope. 

of course, the girls are merely playing second fiddle to new hope's other noise rock group, — that being aaron and mickey's band, ween, who call their sound the vague term of "brown".

over the years, vincent, brandi, aaron, and mickey attempt to take on the music industry together, facing every obstacle from mononucleosis to frozen pipes. but the biggest hurdle to cross proves to be more problematic than any other, that being their complex relations where they serve as each other's loving muses and worst enemies rolled into one.
