Hub Kapp And The Wheels

The band was the creation of Bill Thompson, for the Arizona kids' television show 'Wallace and Ladmo'. Pat McMahon portrayed 'Hub Kapp', with exaggerated 'Wolfman' style eyebrows. Despite being a total 'put on', the music industry took them seriously, and the group eventually performed on 'The Steve Allen Show' and secured a Capitol Records contract. Their first single, 'Work, Work' outsold the Beatles for a time in the Arizona area.
