Papa Wheelie is a punk rock/heavy metal jam band formed in 1996 fronted by former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted.

The band emerged from a mountain biking-based friendship between Jason and his neighborhood bike shop owner. Early in the project, Newsted played the drums and Steven Wiig would play guitar. Since then, Newsted assumed full guitar and vocal responsibilities and Wiig returned to the drumkit.

The band records every single session at Newsted's home studio THE CHOPHOUSE and have played several Bay Area gigs - ranging from outdoor BBQs to his neighbor's living room birthday party to local legendary San Francisco rock clubs.

The band is currently in an idle state due to Newsted's shoulder injury.

Quotes

*"Upon the same ground twice shalt not thy Wheelie tread!" - Fathor Wheelor
*"Our first gig was a neighborhood barbecue. It was all improvised. None of the music is prearranged. There are some skeletons of riffs and no set lyrics. It makes me able to enjoy playing, feeling the noise, with no agenda and no one from a record company breathing down our necks telling us what to do." - Jason Newsted
