Here is the press release:
BILLY CORGAN and his band mates–guitarist JEFF SCHROEDER, drummer MIKE BYRNE and new bassist NICOLE FIORENTINO— just completed an incredibly successful 15-show run of intimate venues that began June 30 in Los Angeles and wrapped up July 26 in New York. The SMASHING PUMPKINS return to the stage August 28 to headline the Sunset Strip Music Festival in Los Angeles before heading back out on the road for another run of intimate shows. This summer tour marks the iconic band’s first tour since December 2008 and will feature, says leader and founder BILLY CORGAN, “a balance of classics, a few obscure ones, and new ‘Teargarden’ material.”
THE SMASHING PUMPKINS have created one of the most acclaimed bodies of work in musical history and sold over 30 million albums. The Pumpkins released the four-song TEARGARDEN BY KALEIDYSCOPE VOL.1: SONGS FOR A SAILOR EP (Martha’s Music/Rocket Science Ventures) in May and recently just added a 5th track, “Freak” now available for download. CORGAN has said the new music “harkens back to the original psychedelic roots of The Smashing Pumpkins; atmospheric, melodic, heavy, and pretty.”
