CHUCK WAGON AND THE WHEELS - BIO

CHUCK WAGON
Charles "Chuck" Wagon had a dream of making it big in the music industry. His father, however, had higher hopes and aspirations. He wanted Charles to be a professional wrestler. Chuck was forced to travel with Mr. Wagon, a wrestling manager, who spent most of his time chained to random wild animals at ringside. Divine intervention, or what Chuck now refers to as the "bear incident," enabled him to pursue his musical career. While his father has gone on to the big parts unknown in the sky, Chuck can't deny that parts of him remained and are scattered throughout his music.

CARL CAL PYLE
Carl Calvin Pyle, or Carl "Carl" pyle" is the direct result of a move made famous by his co-ed tag team wrestling parents, "The Pyle Drivers." Carl may be the only child who looked forward to his parents "getting the belt." The uniqueness of his voice can be attributed to a childhood accident. While practicing a wrestling move known as the "flying head scissors" on the family bulldog, Crusher, he was bitten and a sound was born. Carl had discovered another way to hold people. He believes the key to entertaining is hurting them.

SID SEQUIN
Sid Sequin, born Sid Rhinestone (he changed his name because he thought rhinestone was to gaudy), spent his early years playing the guitar while watching wrestling on t.v. His unorthodox style comes from utilizing grips used by wrestlers rather than the conventional guitar methods. He was a quick study, using the tactics of both guitar and wrestling to discipline himself. He would often say to his parents, "lf I can't play you a "C" major seventh chord by this Friday, I will shave my head and leave town." Sid spent some time traveling with a barber shop quartet.
