Billy Corgan interviewed on FasterLouder
Faster Louder interviewed Billy on a whole range of topics - from Zeitgeist, Oceania, The Veronica’s, Courtney Love, his new book and more … it really is a fantastic read.
Preorder Gift from Smashing Pumpkins
Smashing Pumpkins fans who experienced delays with their pre-orders for the reissues of Gish or Siamese Dream have now been contacted in regards to an exclusive gift from the band. The gift will be a flexi disc, mailed for free … the entire cost is ZERO. (Great number huh?)
If you are one the fans you’ll receive an email directly from the band, if you haven’t heard anything we suggest getting in touch with Smashing Pumpkins Record Club on Twitter or email.
Billy interviewed in Kerrang! about Oceania
There is a 2 page interview with Billy in the most recent edition of Kerrang!, make sure to pick up a copy and hear about the decisions behind the release of Oceania. Here is a quote from the interview:
“The thing that defines our age is technology. It’s obviously changing how we inter-relate as humans. What that in mind, how does one maintain a moral compass in your personal relationships when you have the world at your fingertips? But it’s not a real world, it’s a fake fake world. So the album looks at the balance between personal relationships and those relationships with a world that’s changing its relationship with you.”
I think it’s really cool that the official Oceania tour starts in Australia. Our Australian fans will be the first to hear it and see what we’re gonna do. We’re working with the guy who’s been working with Roger Waters on The Wall - he’s doing the graphics for our tour.
Smashing Pumpkins to headline Splendour In The Grass in July.
IT’S OFFICIAL.
Smashing Pumpkins are headed to Australia as one of the main acts for Splendour In The Grass, alongside Jack White, At The Drive-In, Bloc Party, The Shins, and more.
Whilst the Pumpkins are playing such a massive festival show, there’s still time to cross our collective fingers for a handful of sideshows. Unlike other headline acts such as At The Drive-In, listed with a ‘Only Australian Show’ disclaimer, Smashing Pumpkins may just be free to play a sideshow if they please…
You can read more about the Splendour announcement/check out ticketing options on the festival website, and discuss the news with fellow fans on the Ozphoria forum.
