Backwards Clock Society was a single-show side project consisting of Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins, Mark Tulin of The Electric Prunes (bass), and long-time associate Kerry Brown of Catherine (drums). The band was formed to pay tribute to Laura Ann Masura,[1] a former Smashing Pumpkins Fan Club chief, who suffered from a serious motorcycle accident.[2] The performance took place at The Echoplex in Los Angeles on November 8, 2009.[1] Future Smashing Pumpkins bass player Nicole Fiorentino was performing with opening act Light FM at this show, and was pointed out to Corgan by Kerry Brown at this show. Fiorentino was enthused when asked about playing for the Pumpkins.[3]
