Puafua began in the early 1990s with two rival bands from bordering towns west of Minneapolis: Rockford and Buffalo. Casey Kashiemer and Eric Bequeath were part of the Rockford Metal band Adopt. Dylan Nau and Jake Pool were part of their own Buffalo metal band, Ritalin (a.k.a. Bone Orchard), which had Pink Floyd undertones: a foreshadowing of the writing to come in Puafua by way of Dylan Nau.

Wheeler fronted his own band by 1956, although he was a part-time musician, working for years as an auto mechanic to supplement his income and provide for his family. In 1993, Wheeler released his first album, Bone Orchard, on which he was backed by a local band, the Ice Cream Men. Released by Delmark Records (Delmark 661), it recreated a 1950s feel, with backing two guitars and drums, but no bass guitar. The Ice Cream Men were Johnny Burgin and Dave Waldman (guitars) and Steve Cushing (drums).
