Say what you will about the Smashing Pumpkins and their new, supposed reunion, much maligned by the general press album ´Zeitgeist´ but their 930 Club, supposedly secret, show stirred up some, otherwise dormant, spirits in our fair District.
After much maneuvering and corner cutting, we managed to get Shervin Lainez (of Shervinfoto and all around BYT teacher's pet) in with a camera to capture it for those of you who weren't able to purchase tickets in 2 minutes, did not have 200 bucks to give to scalpers or just plain did not care.
And for those of you that were there...relive the Corgan.
Who, apparently does not melt in daylight.
and for those missing the olden days (and James and D'Arcy with them) : here is "Tonight Tonight" and "1979"

God loves a cheerful giver.
i might eat my words with my slightly spoiled milk-and-cereal when i get home late and tired tonight, but billy corgan looks healthy, happy and well, adjusted! in that main pic he almost looks....h.o.l.l.y.w.o.o.d.
Would you be so kind as to provide an explanation of the (faux) protest?
billy just got to reap the benefits of the immortal kj statement:
"if shervin can't make you look pretty then you're REALLY ugly".
What's up with all these pictures of Erik Bradford? And...yeah what's the deal with the protest?
That car shot is amazing!
I severely disappointed you have no pics of the new bass player.
Pitchfork is the "general press"? You're kidding right?
how in the hell did anybody actually get tickets to that show, and why didn't I, damn it, is what I want to know. great pics
Cooooooooooollllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Forever Smashing Pumpkins
from Ecuador
It was a rally for the Pumpkins not a protest (the posters said things like vote yes for the Smashing Pumpkins). I thought it was hi-larious!
BYT, thanks for posting these pics. The show was mind-blowing.
Thanks Billy Corgan. You got me laid twice in one day.
