Quebec is the eighth studio album by the American rock band Ween, released on August 5, 2003, on Sanctuary Records.

Freese also played with the band on tour during this time, including during a series of benefit concerts for Coleman at New York City's Bowery Ballroom on October 7 and 8, 2002.

[2] The album was the band's first since 1991's The Pod to be released on an independent label, as Ween's contract with Elektra Records expired following 2000's White Pepper.

Gene Ween was going through a divorce from his first wife,[5] Dean Ween was dealing with drug issues and was "partying way too hard",[6] Claude Coleman was recovering from a life-threatening car crash that left him unable to perform on the record[7] (with drumming instead being primarily handled by Josh Freese), and the band was moving from Elektra Records to a smaller, independent label.

Mark Prindle named Quebec the best album of the 2000s in an interview on Fox News Channel's Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld.

The song "It's Gonna Be a Long Night" is featured in the video games Tony Hawk's Underground 2 and ATV Offroad Fury 3, as downloadable content in the Rock Band franchise, and in the TV show The Shield.

[26] On August 11, 2011, Dean Ween quietly released a two-disc, MP3-only collection of songs, The Caesar Demos, named after the band's original working title for Quebec, to friends on his Facebook page.

In his comment, he stated the songs were all recorded between 2001 and 2003 while drummer Claude Coleman, Jr. was recovering from injuries sustained in a car accident, and that many of the tracks featured only himself and Gene.

In addition to a handful of recordings that eventually made the album, the demos feature several alternate takes as well as a number of songs that have remained unreleased.

the first thing that comes to mind is that all the while we were doing this we still had claude coleman on drums, he eventually got into a major car wreck and wasn't around when it finally came time to make the "real" record.

dave sings on "it's gonna be a long night", this was days before he had surgery to remove polyps in his throat and his voice was really rough so we figured he was the guy for the job.
