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.

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.
