It’s all happening in Pumpkinland at the moment.
Few hours ago Billy tweeted that a Smashing Pumpkins Record Club project is going to start, our guess this will be a avenue for the band to release songs from the archives. Corgan mentioned that an unreleased demo from 1992 will be free to anyone who signs up for a (free) membership.
There will be a video announcement from Corgan about the project to give more information about how it will work. We’d also suggest you follow the Twitter account @sprecordclub which has had a few updated from the Pumpkins since the start of this year.
Also, Billy has updated that Jeff, Mike, and Nicole rehearsing “Geek U.S.A.” … “if” the band are to play this on the upcoming tour, this would be the first time since 1999 on the Arising! Tour.
Pumpkins offer glimpse into the archives
The Smashing Pumpkins’ official Facebook page offered a sneak peek into the band’s archives tonight by posting a picture of an “about to be transferred” 4-track casette tape from the “Gish/Siamese era.” According to the post, over 60 such tapes have already been transferred, presumably for the purpose of identifying material to be released over the next couple of years.
The tracklist on the tape, written in Billy Corgan’s distinctive handwriting, consists of:
- Bury Me – 1st version
- Prayer Music
- Daydream
- Final Precursor to C’Mon
- Bury Me
- C’Mon 1
- C’Mon 2
- Acoustic #2
- Semi-New Acoustic “Heal Me”
