The Pumpkins

Tinted Windows to Release Debut Album April 21st.
New Band Features Taylor Hanson (Hanson), James Iha (Smashing Pumpkins), Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne), and Bun E. Carlos (Cheap Trick).

A brand new community forum for Tinted Windows discussion:

Some of you may have heard some buzz recently about Tinted Windows, a new band (or as some are calling it, a "supergroup") featuring Taylor Hanson of Hanson, James Iha of the Smashing Pumpkins and A Perfect Circle, Adam Schlesinger of Fountains of Wayne, and Bun E. Carlos of Cheap Trick. The band is playing a showcase at the South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, TX this March, and their debut album is set to release on April 21st, 2009.



I've created a new LJ community in which people will be able to get new information about the band's shows and their upcoming album as it is released, and I'm inviting fans of all four of the members' bands to join in on the discussion.

If you're interested, please join and watch tintedwindowshq.

Thank you!!!

So any of you lucky people seeing the Pumpkins in the UK this month?

It sold out in a minute or something ridiculous, but then again it is a really small venue. Luckily I managed to wing two standing tickets before that happened, so now I'm so excited I could literally explode - and probably will at some point, who knows?

The Pumpkins are back baby!

i live in paris and was at the show last night. i wrote quite a lengthy review on my own journal, here is the link if you care to read:

clip of new pumpkins song!!!!

The song is the first single and it is called Tarantula. I'm excited, bitches... It hits radio next week, yay!

I'm sure that some of you are aware that people are making pages for their city on Myspace for Pumpkins fans there...

I've made the one for Columbus, Ohio. So if you're in the area (Ohio, midwest, Turkey...) add the Columbus Pumpkinheads profile!

According to http://members.cox.net/pbr/

Eric Avery(ex-Jane's Addiction) has taken up offer to become the new bassist for The Smashing Pumpkins. While it was strongly rumored that the band's original line-up would be making a full fledged return, Avery could not be a better pick to add to the roster. Considering the Jane's/Pumpkins connections through the years and the fact that both early incarnations of the band sounded similar, it should be quite interesting to see what comes out of this. Especially since that means Corgan is now going to have one of the best rhythm sections in modern rock.

Listen to the Pumpkins' Silverfuck back to back with Juana's Three Days then you will know what I'm talking about.

If only James comes back to the fold then I will totally be alright with this developement. No "Yee-hah" Iha then I'll be less happy. I will still totally go to all the shows I can, buy the record and the corresponded t-shirts but it won't be whole heartedly. It might be, you never know.

James Iha & Michael Stipe along with other recording artist, are getting involved with helping Hurricane Katrina victims. Sundance Channel did a short documentary film on it. http://www.sundancechannel.com/int…
