Video Premiere: Tom Hamilton’s American Babies “Rain” (Beatles Cover)

October 24, 2016


Tom Hamilton’s American Babies will play their second Masquerade Ball on October 29 at The Tonic Room in Chicago, where they will honor the music of The Beatles. The show comes as the second in a four-part series where the band will don a different musical costume for a night. 

The first came on October 22 in Boulder, CO, which saw the band covering the music of Radiohead. Prior to that show, we premiered a video of the band covering “Lotus Flower” in their rehearsal space and ahead of the Beatles show, we premiere their take on a Revolver-era tune, “Rain.” Originally released as a B-side on the “Paperback Writer” single, the song has since been covered by everyone from Pearl Jam to Gregg Allman and the Grateful Dead.
