CHUCK WAGON MAULTSBY

It started off as a joke! After several years of playing in Hard Rock bands, Chuck Maultsby and Scott Bish started up a band in 1977 which was named CHUCK WAGON AND THE WHEELS as a total joke and started playing on Monday nights at the then popular Country Swing Dancing stronghold, THE STUMBLE INN, in Tucson, Arizona. A low budget self titled LP was relased in 1978 which garnered just enough attention to inspire a second LP mostly on the strength of a silly-ass toon called MY GIRL PASSED OUT IN HER FOOD (KFAT radio in Gilroy, California was the source of most of this inspiration). A second LP was released in 1979 which included a toon called DISCO SUCKS (Parts 1 & 2) which was the perfect toon considering the anti-disco backlash at the time. Disco Sucks blew up big time world wide only to flame out shortly thereafter because of the Comisky Park Baseball riot in Chicago (see the whole story of DISCO SUCKS at the website: www.chuckmaultsby.net). Three more LPs were released but none ever achieved the success (however fleeting) of the COUNTRY SWINGS, DISCO SUCKS LP. The moniker, CHUCK WAGON AND THE WHEELS, was sold in 1998 to a Nashville band who charted a toon in 1999 called BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEER HOLDER. So there is some confusion now days as to whom, what and where the "real" CHUCK WAGON AND THE WHEELS iswhich is a source of amusement!
