Smashing Pumpkins

August just got better.

'Please welcome PHILOMENA CLEMENTINE CORGAN, the latest addition to our family,' exclaimed Corgan.

Just in time to take advantage of the release of their 'Shiny and Oh So Bright' album.

The Smashing Pumpkins have announced their first album with original members Billy Corgan, Jimmy Chamberlin and James Iha in 18 years.

Billy Corgan calls Kanye West 'brilliant and meteoric.'

Plus, see Billy Corgan on the new cover of 'PAWS' magazine with his family and two rescue kittens.

'This is just an unrealistic thing for somebody who hasn't been onstage for 19 years — to expect to play a three-hour show,' Corgan said.

Among those who graced the stage for the Smashing Pumpkins' 30th anniversary show were Courtney Love, Deftones’ Chino Moreno and Sugar Ray’s Mark McGrath.

Courtney Love, Chino Moreno and Davey Havok are just a few of those joining Smashing Pumpkins for their special gig in Holmdel, New Jersey.

A Nashville audience was treated to a guest turn from Lzzy Hale helping Smashing Pumpkins cover a Led Zeppelin classic.

The band also played their biggest hits and number of interesting covers.

'People say, 'Oh, you were so angry.' No. I was in complete control of my emotions. I was playing the character of a very angry person.'
