Smashing Pumpkins settling into soundcheck-chat-concert routine After privately working on a cover song and then playing new songs “My Love Is Winter,” “Zen Baby,” and “Blessed Mother” as part of their semi-public soundcheck, the Smashing Pumpkins plan to chat with fans at 7pm CT via Ustream from the Newport Music Hall in Columbus, where mercifully they will not deliver a ‘Special Acoustic Performance’ later tonight.

Smashing Pumpkins rock Forecastle, head to Baltimore tonight The initial reports are in from this past weekend’s Forecastle Festival in Louisville, Kentucky, and they’re good: The Smashing Pumpkins, who headlined the Saturday night festivities, played a 90-minute singles-heavy setlist to a crowd of thousands. St. Louis-based Eleven Magazine gushes: The light show? Extraordinary. The music? Prodigious. Billy Corgan? Superhuman. What’s more to say?? I just watched my childhood god rock out about five feet away from my face while playing “Bullet with Butterfly Wings” (which I learned to head-bang to at age 7. Fun fact!) In sum: The only thing that could top seeing Smashing Pumpkins live, is if Kurt Cobain came back from the dead, reunited with Nirvana, and played a private show in my living room. Since that’s never going to happen, my life is pretty much complete after tonight. And of course, the Pumpkins wasted no opportunity to curry favor with the locals, according to Spinner: Corgan stopped to banter with the enthusiastic crowd and told an anecdote of asking someone earlier in the day, “What do they make here in Kentucky? They told me, bourbon, baseball bats, horses and hot Kentucky women.” It also sounds like they turned on the romance for the festival-goers, “finish[ing] on the lush ‘Tonight, Tonight’ as helium lanterns floated into the night sky and over the Ohio River.” Sounds like a beautiful moment, if you can ignore the glow sticks that were getting tossed on stage. And newbie Pumpkins bassist Nicole Fiorentino summed up the show thusly: “ummm, Kentucky kind of rocked my socks off.” After the show, the Pumpkins headed straight to Baltimore to rest and prepare for tonight’s show at Rams Head Live!. HU will also be visiting Charm City, so we should have a liveblog comin’ at you tonight! In the meantime, stream new crowd-pleaser “Owata” below, or relive this concert in full over at the Live Music Archive where a full recording has already been uploaded by an industrious taper!

Smashing Pumpkins confirmed for Mexican date on MTV World Stage <\/u><\/a> While the Pumpkins have been touring, their management team has been busy. From a press release on the official website: MTV Latin America announced today that rock icons, The Smashing Pumpkins, are set to perform at MTV World Stage Mexico. The international event will be taped on August 26th at the Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City. The show will air Friday, September 17th on MTV Latin America during Mexico’s week long Bicentennial celebration and on Friday, October 8th on more than 64 MTV channels in over 155 territories around the globe. Those of us outside Latin America can tune in on October 8th for the rare Smashing Pumpkins performance broadcasted in high definition, although in past airings of MTV World Stage from other locations the concerts have been edited down. Regardless, we’ll finally be able to say the Billy Corgan has something in common with Lady Gaga and Ke$ha.

Concert review: Smashing Pumpkins at Rams Head Live 12 july 2010 Halfway through the Smashing Pumpkins' show at Rams Head Live last night, singer Billy Corgan asked the crowd what year it was. "1979," the audience shouted, begging for the band's 1996 hit. It was not to be. "Yeah, it sure ain't 1993," Corgan replied. Corgan refuses to be labeled a relic, and last night's intimate club date was no hit parade. The '90s alt-rock pioneers never actually played "1979," though they did do "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" and "Tonight." The show, which lasted more than two hours, was advertised as a tour through the Pumpkins' catalog, and that's what the band delivered. It was not a concert for the casual Pumpkins listener -- it was a performance for true fans ... Here's a link to a photo gallery from the show. The Pumpkins offered songs from nearly every album, starting with the lackluster new "Astral Planes." It was not the best way to get things rolling. The four players found their footing with the second song, "Ava Adore," settling into a dark, heavy groove. With his shaved head and half-soft, half-searing voice, Corgan looks and sounds just like he did when the band broke out nearly 20 years ago. He's the only original member still touring with the group. At the tender age of 20, drummer Mike Byrne was probably still in diapers when the Pumpkins released 1991's "Gish." Last night Byrne handled the sticks with skill, though he did rush several songs. Sporting a thick headband, he could have been the karate kid. Bassist Nicole Fiorentino had the low end on lock, and guitarist Jeff Schroeder offered solid fills and the occasional solo. Make no mistake, it was still Corgan's show, and he snatched every opportunity to wail on his guitar, at times overpowering the rest of the band. It was a night of guitar worship, with fans bowing at the altar of The Bald One. Corgan was loving it. Early on, he stood with arms outstretched, assuming a benevolent, Jesus-like pose, facing his adoring fans. Angst-ridden '90s tracks like "Cherub Rock" were just as biting and prescient now as they were when they first came out. One of Corgan's biggest strengths is his ability to be angry and vulnerable in the same breath, and that ability was on full display last night. Many of the newer songs, such as "A Song for a Son," lacked the same spark and momentum. Something must have been in the air, because the crowd was feeling feisty. A few guys in the back were hurling obscenities and weird, funny heckles, and when Corgan paused in the middle of "Bullet With Butterfly Wings," the audience started booing. Guess they didn't want the tune to end. (It didn't.) After playing "Perfect," Corgan and Schroeder started noodling around, teasing Jimi Hendrix songs and talking about the guitar legend. A fan near the front chucked a bottle or cup of water at the stage, aimed at Schroeder. Schroeder responded with a stream of insults, challenging the fan to come up on stage and fight him. Keeping true with the night's theme, the Pumpkins' final encore was the epic, 18-minute song "Gossamer." The unreleased track began with sizzling guitar riffs, dissolved into a plodding stew and foamed up into a shred fest before Corgan finally put it to bed. The average Smashing Pumpkins fan were left scratching their heads while the hard core Pumpkin-heads were loving every guitar lick. The show started at 9:53 p.m. and ended at 12:04 a.m.

<\/u><\/a> Smashing Pumpkins is all about keeping up with change The Virginian-Pilot © July 15, 2010 By Mike Doyle Correspondent From his hotel room in Grand Rapids, Mich., Smashing Pumpkins mastermind Billy Corgan pondered his newly plotted course for the band. The 1990s top-selling group is on a 22-date club tour across America, with a stop in Norfolk tonight at The NorVa. Corgan's long-term goals reflect his insights on the evolution of the music business. "I think you have to be constantly present. You need to be constantly releasing new music and trying to look into new and interesting ways to use technology to stay connected to people. "It used to be that if a band came to town, everyone knew about it, even if you didn't want to go. Now, because of the way people get information, they don't even know you've come to town. You can really tour in a vacuum these days. You can go out and tour constantly to make money, but I don't think it necessarily builds fans the way it used to. I think while you're out there playing a particular city, you're kinda leaving the rest of the world off the radar, and you can't afford to do that anymore." Corgan wondered if the old method of building a fan base through touring might be a thing of the past. "We might be better served to play three concerts over three days, all web-cast, and all for free. By doing something like that, you might reach more people in those three days than you would in three months of being on tour. Maybe that's time better served?" Corgan has released his newest music, a 44-song collection called "Teargarden By Kaleidyscope," by posting a song a week to the band's website, where fans can download it for free. "The whole thing about who sets the price of music is interesting because the consumers are just not interested in that price," he said. "They're not getting anything more than a digital file, and everyone knows that. If the difference between people hearing what I'm doing right now is between zero and 33 cents, I'm willing to take a risk on zero." That's a risk a record executive might not be willing to take. The Smashing Pumpkins no longer have a major-label record deal, and Corgan relishes the freedom. "I got really sick of the 'singular moment' mentality when it came to putting out a record. Like, if it doesn't happen in the first moment, usually centered around the first single, 'That's it - your record's done, we're moving on.' To put that kind of investment, possibly a year or a year and a half of work on a record, and then have somebody in an office somewhere decide they're not interested in you because they have another priority that week or something - that was really hard to deal with.... It's more about content and staying current. It's an oblique strategy since no one knows what success is, so all you can do is feel it along and see what feels good." The next few years will bring more change to the music business, and Corgan plans more change for himself. "I'm just going to take myself out of that mainline thinking and get myself into a forward, futuristic mind-set - and the economics will work themselves out over time." With brand new Pumpkins music spreading through the band's massive fan base, Corgan has found balance between his past and present for concerts. "I don't think you have to play the older songs or hits. It's more of a contract you have with your audience, that you're gonna try to meet them in the middle between what they would like to see and experience from you, and where you're at today. The way I look at it is, I take the new material and figure out what I'm going to play, and then I'll build around that the songs that would make the most sense for the show - to keep the show exciting and relevant - and, at the same time, honor my whole musical history with the Pumpkins. "I like to touch on different eras because it brings different energies, feels and grooves to the show. I've found a nice balance between past, present and future. I don't feel any sense of compromise, I can tell you that."

“In the comic book world that I live in…” 10:08 am // Friday, July 16, 2010 <\/u><\/a> In Wayne Bledsoe’s new Knoxville.com interview with Billy Corgan, he discusses a variety of topics with the Smashing Pumpkins mastermind in anticipation of next Friday’s show at The Valarium. Corgan discusses audience expectations, more thoughts about the music industry, and dredges up more commentary about his former bandmates and his ‘tyrannical’ reputation in the media, opining: “I think it’s the thin line between an obsessional artist who’s pursuing a particular vision and a tyrant who is grinding people under his wheels,” says Corgan in a phone call from his Baltimore hotel room. “You get tired of this idea that you’re behind the scenes just grinding people up and spewing them out.” In a particularly memorable passage, Corgan also illustrates the alt-rock archetypes that have played out over the last twenty years. This is just too good not to share: “In the comic book world that I live in I’m the cynical, occasional genius,” says Corgan. “Courtney (Love) is the bad girl, and I’m the bitter artist. Kurt (Cobain) is the perfect quarterback who never did any wrong, and Trent (Reznor) is the dark prince playing with his synthesizer. … There’s a lot more diversity there. But people want you to play those characters because it fits better in the comic book.”

Smashing Pumpkins to add more American tour dates in September An update on the SmashingPumpkins.com homepage finds Billy Corgan in good spirits, sending his greetings from Richmond where they played earlier this week. He expresses his gratitude and appreciation for the reception the band has gotten thus far on this small club tour, stating that “the fans have been fantastic and so, so supportive, and with that kind of love coming our way the shows have gone very well.” He also drops this exciting hint: It looks like we will be touring much of September in America in support of our new song [Teargarden track "Freak"]. Thanks so much to the radio stations that have already picked up on playing it! Because of that success we’ll be coming to a lot of familiar places/cities/stomping grounds. Those dates we’ll be getting announced real soon. So lots of good news ahead. Meanwhile, the band is scheduled to play tonight in Charlotte, North Carolina at the Fillmore and HU’s own Jason will be on hand for the festivities, presumably updating via Twitter. Looks like he’s already scored a spot in line for soundcheck — exciting!
