Smashing Pumpkins to play live in Germany
The Smashing Pumpkins have announced their first lives shows in 7 years. According to their myspace page, they band will play two festivals in Germany, Rock am Ring and Rock im Park, in June. The question is, of course, who exactly is in the band nowadays? We know Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlain are in, but they were also in that waste of time called Zwan. Here's wishing for D'Arcy's and James Iha's return.... or at the very least Melissa Auf der Maur!
BTW, I'll post soon an older but never-before-published interview in which Billy has a few choice words for James. Doesn't bode well for the reunion.... It's all good, I don't care who Billy hires as long as they rock out in true Gish style and don't play any Zwan songs!
