Nashville Cream: I grew up in Boston, I was raised on Aerosmith, and my first big question is: What was your first favorite local band when you were coming up?
Tom Hamilton: People usually think of our past and our early days as playing in clubs, but the fact is that in Boston there were no clubs where you could play originals. You had to play Top 40 covers. We didn't get a lot of club gigs, so we played a lot of college mixers and frat parties and high school dances and stuff. It was an amazing time. The only bands we were really aware of were The Montgomery Blues Band and The J. Geils Band, and then there was a band that we had heard of named Ultimate Spinach, but by the time we had moved to Boston they were done and gone.
