Marquis in Spades

"Marquis in Spades" is a song from the "Zero" EP by The Smashing Pumpkins, which was included on the The Aeroplane Flies High box set. An early working version was called "Glamey Glamey", while a demo version with different lyrics was known as "Shamay".

The band never really liked this song. They were always snickering at it, but I always liked its sheer brutality. It was recorded live on my 8-track cassette recorder, on which I've done almost all my demos since before Gish.

Prior to joining the band, drummer Mike Byrne had a YouTube channel under the name "MarquisinSpadez", an obvious reference to this song.
