Hubcap City (From Belgium) is a band from Atlanta, Georgia that formed in 2000 after the end of Bill Taft and Will Fratesi's previous band, Smoke. == History == The group played their first show at the Benjamin Smoke celebration, when Bill asked Will to play percussion on some of Bill's guitar and vocals-based songs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = Creative Loafing )〕 These raucous, acoustic guitar-driven songs harkened back to the style of Bill's first band, The Chowder Shouters. They continued as a duo for several years under the name Hubcap City, releasing several homemade CDs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = Hubcap City's Official Page )〕 In 2003, they changed their name to Hubcap City (From Belgium), despite being Americans. The name hubcap city is taken from a Deacon Lunchbox poem. They integrated this concept into their concerts, with Bill claiming to be named Leopold, and Will claiming to be named Wilhelm. Bill also introduced original songs as "The Belgian National Anthem.".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = EvilSponge )〕 Also in 2003, Matthew Proctor joined the band (playing additional percussio, second guitar often lead and also contributing songs.
