The Smashing Pumpkins wiki
Help us build the world's largest knowledge base for The Smashing Pumpkins and related acts!
We currently have 4,434 articles, detailing 1,336 songs across 152 albums, 93 studio sessions and 2,193 live shows.
Album of the week
American Gothic is the fourth EP by The Smashing Pumpkins. It was released in January 2008, with Billy Corgan describing it as a continuation of their 2007 album Zeitgeist. Corgan told the LA Times that the band had "finally turned the corner... where it's starting to feel like our music again, and not theirs, whoever 'they' might be," referring to the band's choice to continue making music without a record label. The EP contains four unreleased acoustic tracks recorded in the late 2007. Consequence of Sound wrote "If anything, Gothic is a step forward from Zeitgeist", while AllMusic said the EP "proves that the well-received Zeitgeist wasn't just a Corgan-fueled fluke".
Song of the day
"Drown" is a promotional single by The Smashing Pumpkins from the soundtrack to the 1992 Cameron Crowe film, Singles. The song debuted during the Gish tour and was first recorded at Waterfront Studios, which belongs to Lenny Kravitz. "Drown" became a moderate radio hit in mid-1992 and gave the band significant exposure just before work commenced on Siamese Dream. It peaked at number 24 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart.
Did you know...
- ...that Gish was named after silent film icon Lillian Gish? In an interview, Corgan said his grandmother told him "one of the biggest things that ever happened was when Lillian Gish rode through town on a train".
- ...that former touring Smashing Pumpkins guitarist Mark Stoermer was an additional executive producer on the live action music video for "Wyttch"?
- ...that "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" was one of 165 songs strongly recommended to be pulled from radio following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks?
- ...that Billy Corgan was the original bassist for The Smashing Pumpkins? Their very first show included Corgan on bass, Iha on guitar, and a drum machine.
- ...the drowning Statue of Liberty on the Zeitgeist cover was meant to portray global warming and the eminent demise of many founding United States ideals? There are six editions of the album in different colors and with varying bonus tracks.
