The Smashing Pumpkins Announce Fall Tour
 The Smashing Pumpkins have been a staple in alternative rock for the past twenty-two years. Not many groups have passed their influence on the genre and few garnered more attention in the 1990’s than them. Famous for their smash hit “Bullet with Butterfly Wings,” the single led the group to become a radio sensation while the album it came off of, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, propelled them to be a household name.
That was all the way back in 1995 though, and since then they have lost some of their fan base. This is not because of the quality of their music, 2007’s Zeitgeist was a step backwards, it’s due to the fact that they have simply not been touring enough. That is all about to change though.
Bill Corgan has been the only consistent member of The Smashing Pumpkins throughout all the many different line-up changes. Singer Corgan has finally gotten a solid group to tour with and they are now ready to go on the road. Releasing dates for the Pumpkins new tour today August 15th, the band will be heading to places like California and New York. Full list of tour dates is above. ..

 Smashing Pumpkins Biography
Smashing Pumpkins - Born: 1988
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, Smashing Pumpkins became the model for alternative rock success. Nirvana were too destructive and Pearl Jam shunned success. The band, on the other hand, knew how to play the game, signing to a major-subsidized indie for underground credibility and moving to the major in time to make the group a multi-platinum act. And when the Pumpkins 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, especially in the eyes of radio programmers and mainstream audiences. Unlike many of their contemporaries, they 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. .... full Smashing Pumpkins biography
