Show Lineup
Powerwagon
(Madison/Milwaukee)
POWERWAGON began loud and ugly in the then funk obsessed town of Madison, WI. back in 1991 with Jeff (GREEN RIVER) on guitar and vocals, Patrick Lenling on drums, and a stinky Pollock named Dennis (Pennis) Wasielewski on bass. We modeled ourselves after MUDHONEY and NIRVANA and played a few new band nites and parties. This was short lived as Pat moved back home. Later a friend, Greg Hein (a Pharmacy major), joined after a half dozen shots of jager. We then proceded (with the help of other bands like Camel Toe and Pachinko) to seek out and destroy all funk heads and hangs (including O'cayz Corral) with our brand of loud, drunken, fuzzed-out jams. We put out a 7"on a local punk/noise label, Bovine Records, in '93 and followed with a full-length CD-LOWERLIFE FORMS- on the short lived O'cayz label, PINECONE, in '95. The next year saw a split 7" release with Iowa's EXIT, also on PINECONE. This would be the final release of PW's classic lineup as Dennis relocates to Austin,Tx. to finish his degree in mathmatics. River was recruited to play 2nd guitar for Michael Gerald's Party Machine aka KILLDOZER until the band played it's final shows called the "Fuck You We Quit" tour. Powerwagon would continue on as River moved to Milwaukee to join Heiner (a Milw. native) and returning alumni, Lenling, on bass duties, releasing another 7" on their own,Tri-Lateral/Foxy label in 2000.
