When you tell the world via full page ad in the Chicago Tribune that you want your classic 90s band back together in one piece and you go ahead with your plans to be that band again, despite it being sort of glued together lopsided with hot bass-playing replacement pieces, you're sort of expected to keep the steamroll running, and tour however the hell you feel like touring. After a spate of European festivals and shows in “intimate” venues like Paris' Grand Rex and London's Sheperds Bush Empire, The Corgan (plus Jimmy Chamberlain) are doing epic, sold out residencies at San Francisco's Fillmore and The Orange Peel in …Asheville, North Carolina? Whatever pleases you, Mr. Corgan.
After they exorcise whatever demons are lying about the Blue Mountains, the band's off to more festival hopping in D.C., England, Turkey, Greece, Belgium and… Toronto. Five out of six aint bad. That, for my money, is a better use of The Corgan's touring fun time.
