Deb Talan and Steve Tannen began as solo artists. They found each other's music over time, with Steve playing Talan's music constantly to himself and Deb "forming a musical relationship" with Tannen's music. After a chance meeting at a show in 2001, the pair became involved and began playing music together as The Weepies.
They released their first album, ''Happiness'', in 2003. Since then, they have released six official albums, alongside several unofficial live concerts recordings. These unofficial albums were released with the permission of the band, provided that the music was available for free download, and the concert was not originally meant for an official record.
