It’s been 9 months since Oceania was released into the world. During that time, we’ve had a lot of interest in the artwork we created for our ‘Imagine Oceania’/Ozphoria’s 10th birthday. Many people asked us why we hadn’t created a collected artwork featuring all of the individual themed pieces and to be honest we hadn’t had the time until now.
You can now purchase the above print ‘The Smashing Pumpkins Oceania: Collected’ in various formats and sizes. 13 pieces, all in one lovely poster.
The Smashing Pumpkins performed The Celestials on the Jay Leno - Tonight Show last week.

Many thanks to the efforts of the tapers of these quality shows.
The tour (for us) wrapped up in Auckland with another amazing show. It’s been an amazing week of touring with our favourite band.
We have lots of stuff to share, but for now we are going to enjoy a few days off in Auckland before getting home to Perth.

While in Melbourne last night Smashing Pumpkins play Luna from Siamese Dream for the first time in 18 years.
Towards the end of the Smashing Pumpkins show last night Billy said thank you to the crowd, Australia as a country that has supported the Pumpkins so well over the years, thank you for allowing the band to perform Oceania in full and finally a thank you to the real heroes out there - the Australian Sea Shepherd crew who were in the crowd last night.
The closing track from the epic journey that is Oceania, with Jeff, Nicole and Mike on keys for this it is really a fitting end to the live performance of the album.
