I was really looking forward to seeing the Smashing Pumpkins after they announced they were reuniting (minus D'Arcy), thinking, oh this is gonna be something special. Then a few days before the show I thought perhaps I had set myself up for disappointment, setting the bar too high. But 2 notes in, I realized there…
Smashing Pumpkins have just announced that one of their stops on their “Shiny And Oh So Bright” tour will also honor the band’s 30th anniversary, and a number of special guests will be added to the bill.
Smashing Pumpkins kicked off their “Shiny And Oh So Bright” tour last night in Glendale, Ariz. and the 31-song setlist featured three very different covers including David Bowie’s “Space Oddity,” Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway To Heaven” and “Baby Mine” from the Disney film Dumbo.
Remember how Smashing Pumpkins were planning on throwing an actual house party like their “1979” music video? Apparently, the neighbors had other plans.
The new Smashing Pumpkins song “Solara” marks an incredible achievement for Billy Corgan, James Iha and Jimmy Chamberlin being the first track they’ve released together in over 18 years.
