el regreso Smashing Pumpkins

O como escuche por ahi Zwan 2.0, pq no esta ni D'arcy ni James Iha... peeero, pss de pronto aqui si gana la nostalgia, ademas el Billy Corgan fue y es algo asi como el 75% de Smashing, asi que no afecta tanto..jaja. Segun veo por lo pronto van a Europa, pero tienen dos fechas en Norteamerica... y si sigue el calendario de abajo.. mmm, por ahi me pondria a rumorar que tocan en Austin City Limits.. por que no?

THE SMASHING PUMPKINS ANNOUNCE FIRST SHOW SINCE 2000 AT THE HISTORIC GRAND REX IN PARIS


BAND TO UNVEIL SONGS FROM UPCOMING ALBUM 'ZEITGEIST'



THE SMASHING PUMPKINS are excited to announce their first live performance since December 2, 2000 - a very special and intimate theatre show to take place May 22 in Paris, France at the historic and elegantly appointed Grand Rex. Tickets will go on sale April 11.

This marks the first time The Smashing Pumpkins will unveil songs from the upcoming ZEITGEIST (Martha's Music/Reprise), their sixth album and first of new material since 2000's Machina/The Machines of God and the free, digital-only release Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music. ZEITGEIST was produced by Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin, with Roy Thomas Baker and Terry Date working separately on various tracks, and represents the culmination of two years of work.

After the Paris show, The Smashing Pumpkins will headline major European festivals from May 28 at Holland’s Pinkpop festival through June 17 at Switzerland’s Greenfield Festival, returning to England August 24 (Leeds Festival) and August 26 (Reading Festival). Stay tuned for more information about North American tour dates beyond the V Festivals confirmed in Washington, DC (August 5) and Toronto, ONT (September 8).

Si va a ser una version 2.0 de Zwan seria mejor que no regresaran, a Billy Corgan no le fue tan bien con esa banda y pues habra que escuchar que es lo que van a tocar ahora los de smashing por que su sonido es demasiado alternativo y en ocasiones hasta grounge...Haber como les va...espero que bien y que el proximo disco sea excelente.
