The Neighborhoods, Prettiest Girl & No Place Like Home, Live - 1979.

I remember. Do you? The Neighborhoods are hands down, one of my favorite Boston bands. Vocalist/guitar god David Minnehan (Minnehan’s solo in “Girl” is a permanent earwig of mind. And I think about guitars a lot) continues to work behind the scenes in Boston, with the likes of Gang Green and Dropkick Murphys at his own studio, Wooly Mammoth Sounds. Wooly Mammoth Sounds celebrated 10 Years in the Rock biz earlier this year in January. Not as familiar with the early Boston scene as you should be? Pick up D.I.Y, Mass Ave. The Boston Scene (1975-1983) and take it from there.

The Hoods still play live from time to time. This time you can catch them in Wellfleet, Massachusetts at the Beachcomber on July 19th. Take that Nickelback.
