| The Smashing Pumpkins play Melbourne (Australia) Saturday 20 June 1998. They've been busy touring Europe to promote their new studio recording, Adore. The new album carries the typical fuzzed-out Pumpkins sound. To help promote their new album, the Pumpkins have recruited drummer Kenny Aronoff (formerly of John Mellencamp among others), percussionists Dan Morri and Stephen Hodges (Tom Waits) and keyboardist Mike Garson (David Bowie). This is the Smashing Pumpkins' biggest on-stage ensemble ever! |
| Last year the band lost their on-stage keyboardist who died of a drug overdose while the band was on tour. Soon after, Pumpkins drummer James "Jimmy" Chamberlin was fired by the other three band members when the drummer pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct. Fans can look forward to a revived Smashing Pumpkins bringing their huge rock sounds to the Melbourne Park stage. |
| Formed in Chicago 1989. Of all the major alternative rock bands of the early '90s, Smashing Pumpkins were the group least influenced by traditional underground rock. Lead guitarist/songwriter Billy Corgan fashioned an amalgam of progressive rock, heavy metal, goth-rock, psychedelia and dream-pop, creating a layered, powerful sound driven by swirling, distorted guitars. Corgan was wise enough to exploit his angst-ridden lyrics, yet he never shied away from rock-star posturing, even if he did cloak it in allegedly ironic gestures. In fact, the Smashing Pumpkins became the model for alternative rock success -- Nirvana were too destructive, Pearl Jam shunned success. | The Pumpkins, on the other hand, knew how to play the game -- signing to a major-subsidized indie for underground credibility, moving to the major in time to make the group a multi-platinum act. And when the group did achieve mass success with 1993's Siamese Dream, they went a long way to legitimize heavy metal and orchestrated prog-rock, helping move alternative rock even closer to '70s AOR rock, especially in the eyes of radio programmers and mainstream audiences. And, unlike many of their contemporaries, the Pumpkins were able to withstand many internal problems and keep selling records, emerging as the longest-lasting and most successful alternative band of the early '90s. |
