The first ''Gecaj and Giggens Power Show'' aired on [[September 13]], 2005, with the first song played being "[[My Name is Jonas]]". The playlist for this show was made up on the spot.

Early episodes of the ''Power Show'' struck a chord with fellow station members and many high school students would often skip class to listen to the ''Power Show''. Due to the alternative and indie music they played, a lot of people began to hang out with them on the air, and the first ''Power Show'' family was born. On these early shows, sing-a-longs would happen, Giggens would wear ties, and Gecaj's love of wrestling found its way into on-air conversations. The ''Power Show'' helped out at the station's third ever SINFEST concert on the school's campus, and keeping with their love for Weezer, had an all Weezer show before seeing them in concert one day in October 2005. Giggens called in live from the concert during a friend's radio show to give an update as to what had been played so far (these were the days before | Early episodes of the ''Power Show'' struck a chord with fellow station members and many high school students would often skip class to listen to the ''Power Show''.

For the next couple of years, ''The Power Show'' had many ups and downs. The show went on hiatus when work and class schedules conflicted with each other in [[2007]], resulting in Giggens' first solo show called ''Tune In, Drop Out, With Giggens'', a 1960's garage rock show. When ''The Power Show'' returned in the fall of 2007, their on-air family had changed, they had more listeners than ever, and the rule "If we have over 20 listeners, our shirts will come off" started. | For the next couple of years, ''The Power Show'' had many ups and downs.
