Get on the Wagon (2003 to 2006)
The shocks are a little more worn. The timing belt could go at any minute. And the old beater sure could use a paint job. Still, whenever we turn the key in the ignition, the Wagon fires up and runs like a frickin' top.

Oakmore Road 2006
Oakland, September 17, 2006
It was a hot day in Oakland as StationWagon rumbled through two sets of pavement pounding hits. It was a day of firsts. Our first time rocking in Oakland. Our first time rocking on Oakmore Road. And our first time rocking in a cul-de-sac. I believe it's now official ... StationWagon is the Bay Area's premiere block party band. |

Cleveland Street 2006
San Leandro, August 5, 2006
Our second gig of the year saw us rock the block in a return trip to the annual Cleveland Street party. As usual, it was a rollicking affair, with the Wagon dueling it out for street supremacy with the Invincible Pinata and crowd favorite House of Eternal Bounce. We'd like to thank the Cleveland Street gang for their gracious hospitality. And, supreme kudos to Curt Yagi for standing in on bass guitar and treating us to a set of his acoustic originals.

On the Border Restaurant
Dublin, January 23, 2006
It's been more than a year since our last gig. Since then, the demand has been growing and the fans have been screaming, "where did you go, oh Wagon? Where did you go?" Well, we finally pulled ourselves together for a couple of practices and revved up the rusty old jalopy for a rip-roaring ride at the On the Border employee appreciation party. Widespread pre-gig fear that we were about to embark on Cop Gig 2 were wholly without merit. The Borderita-fueled Wagon has plenty left in the tank ... special thanks to the all-star On the Border dance team.

Unprecedented Doubleheader
September 20, 2003
In the cutting chill of the way-too-early morning at Coyote Point Park, we helped the runners and walkers get their juices flowing for the 2nd Annual Franklin benefit. That very same night, we resumed our rightful position as the greatest block party rock band in history by plowing through Wagon classics for the 2nd annual Channing Road extravaganza. Call in the chiropractors. Uncap the Ben-Gay. And make sure the xtra-strength over-the-counter pain relievers are within easy reach. The Wagon has never been pushed to such limits. Will we ever recover?

Cleveland St. Block Party
San Leandro, August 2, 2003
In addition to a hard-rocking set by the Wagon, this event featured the first recorded sighting of the Coggins Family Orchestra on two Beatles classics, though the whereabouts of the lead guitarist remains a mystery. Fortunately the remaining three family members proved that a foursome isn't required to be fab. As we learned again, there's no lack of musical talent or hospitality on Cleveland St.

Prenatal Fundraiser in 2003
The Presidio, San Francisco, May 31, 2003
We were back on stage at the Presidio for the third straight year rocking for the HPP. What would a major gig be without major PA difficulties! Once again our system was on the fritz, and once again we rose above the technical difficulties (and our own technical ineptitude) to deliver what many Wagon admirers deemed the best StationWagon performance ever. At least we didn't get stuck in an elevator an hour before going on stage like we did last year.
Please join StationWagon in supporting the HPP. For more info, check out the Homeless Prenatal Program's website.

Cinco de StationWagon
Tongue & Groove Club, San Francisco, May 5, 2003
It was Cinco de Mayo. It was a fundraiser for a friend. It was top-notch entertainment, including a swinging mariachi band. And it was StationWagon capping off the whole shindig. |

Return to Jelly's
Jelly's: A Dance Cafe, SF, March 22, 2003
StationWagon returned to Jelly's for a rollicking evening of rock and more rock. It wouldn't be a proper Jelly's gig without a PA crisis and sure enough our until-now trusty PA crapped out on us right as we were about to take the stage. Technical crises such as this are enough to fray the most strongly wound nerves of steel ... and strongly wound nerves of steel we do not have. After much answering of the same question ("did you try plugging it in there?"), we manufactured a solution and proceeded on course and on time.
