Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton has announced his first show with a new band called Close Enemies, which will take place next month in Nashville.

“Hey, I need to tell you something about a band I’m playing with called Close Enemies,” Hamilton wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday. “We have a bunch of good songs recorded. We’re going to release one soon. Meanwhile, we’re doing a show in Nashville on October 11 in Nashville at a place called Eastside Bowl. Please come!!”

Hamilton recently discussed his new project with Guitar World, where he also reflected on the end of Aerosmith’s touring days. He called the news “a punch in the gut” but held out hope that “maybe someday we can do something again, but it won’t be a tour.” In the meantime, he said, “I’ve been keeping busy playing in a band we’re calling Close Enemies. We’ve recorded a bunch of killer songs and we’re getting closer to deciding how we’re going to put it out. Can’t wait!”
