Smashing Pumpkins Tour

It’s shaping up to be a big 20th anniversary from Chicago alternative rock icons Smashing Pumpkins. Billy Corgan, Jimmy Chamberlin, and whoever the fuck else Billy hired to be in the band now, are going out on the road, premiering a song on Guitar Hero, releasing a DVD, and hopefully rekindling some fanships from those of us who think it’s been bleak ever since Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness. Several of their tour stops include 2-night stints where no songs will be repeated.

“Chicago, Toronto, New York, Washington, Boston, Kansas City and Los Angeles. With such a vast repertoire, the Pumpkins are coming prepared with completely different set lists in each of the multi-night engagements with no songs being repeated over the course of the two night run. Night #1 is being called “Black Sunshine,” while night #2 will be dubbed “White Crosses.” A special two-night ticket bundle will be available for all multi-night engagements.”

So I take it they’re not doing “White Crosses” in the deep south? Smart move there, baldy.
