AEROSMITH Bassist Is A Real 'Drag'

April 25, 2009

The Boston Globe reports that AEROSMITH bassist Tom Hamilton was at the House of Blues yesterday rehearsing for his upcoming "Banned in Boston" performance of "I Touched Michelle", a takeoff on Katy Perry's single "I Kissed a Girl". (See photo at this location.) Hamilton, who said he knows Perry's song well ("My daughter played it nonstop for a while there"),is always happy to dress in drag for the Urban Improv comedians who write the annual benefit show. "I've been Laura Bush, I think I've been Barbara Bush, and I think I was Camilla Parker-Bowles," he said. Hamilton's number, a take on Michelle Obama's trip to London, has him wearing what he describes as "a nice gown — a nice pink satin gown — with a little bit of a cape effect, and a wig."

After Wednesday's "Banned in Boston" event, Hamilton will focus on AEROSMITH's summer tour, which brings the band to the Comcast Center on June 16. The band may be putting off the release of a new album to go on the road, but Hamilton says fans may hear new material live. "I know there's a couple of things that would be really cool to put out there," he said. "We may be tempted."
