THE SMASHING PUMPKINS […]
The current incarnation of Billy Corgan’s Smashing Pumpkins took the stage last week in a shrunken 1stBank Center looking very much like they did back in their heyday. Despite the band being made up of new supporting cast behind Corgan, there is still a sexy female bass player and a guitarist with Asian features. While at first the similarities to the classic line-up seemed a bit cheesy, their playing pushed all those thoughts from our minds immediately as the band delivered a very solid show of new and old material.
A few weeks back the mastermind of The Smashing Pumpkins was kind enough to give us some time to chat with him. Time was tight, but the bald-headed legend of “Alternative Rock” was very insightful in his conversation about the future of the music business, spirituality, and his bands evolution. Fortunately we were lucky enough to be half awake and almost prepared enough to pick the brain of the one and only Billy Corgan.
