December 28, 1990 - March 27, 1996 and then some....
Hubcap was Andy Zboralski, Billy Smith, and Jay Ryan.
after a disasterous New Trier high school radio show in 1990 as the ill-fated straight-edge band, Naugahyde Nation, Andy and Billy began the "legacy" that is HUBCAP.
With the help of their friends, Steve Albini and Dylan Posa, they recorded their one and only album, "Those Kids are Wierd" - misspellings and all. Actionboy Records put out the vinyl only release in 1996 and Andy mysteriously disappeared for awhile. Bob Nanna (Braid, Hey Mercedes) and Ryan Rapsys (Gauge, Euphone) helped out in the drum department.
Andy was back, but Jay left for DIANOGAH. Sava Vuckovic then played bass. Hubcap played their (unknown at the time) last show in March of 1996 at the Fireside Bowl with Dylan Posa (Cheer-Accident) handling Atari 2600 Berzerk duties. We wish we taped that show.
In 2001, 54’40 or Fight! Records put out a proper CD reissue of the album with a roller coaster ride of quality bonus tracks.
members and x-members of DIANOGAH , Haymarket Riot , Traitors , EggCartonZoo, Orwell , Pretty Flowers, and Whaler .
