Owata

"Owata" is the second single from the aborted final volume of The Smashing Pumpkins' project Teargarden by Kaleidyscope, and tenth song released from the project overall.

History
The song has a fairly long history prior to its official release. The song was performed, for the first time, at the Bridge School Benefit on October 26, 2008, when Jimmy Chamberlin was still in the band. Subsequently, it was performed throughout 2010's Rock 'n' Roll Party tour with drummer Mike Byrne and bassist Nicole Fiorentino, prior to its official release on Teargarden by Kaleidyscope. These early live versions are considerably different musically than the final studio version, with the studio version featuring a different drum arrangement, and a noticeably larger amount of synthesizers. The bass line is the first that Nicole Fiorentino wrote for a Smashing Pumpkins song.

Music video
A 12-minute short film featuring an in-depth look at two female underground wrestlers was released in July, 2011. The video was directed by Robby Starbuck and stars Shelly Martinez, Raven and Alissa Flash, which was subsequently edited and released in a traditional music video format. It was the first-ever video to be filmed with Red Digital Cinema Camera Company technology.
