Smashing Pumpkins, Fancy Space People, and Light FM at The Riverside Theater
Beloved when they were coming up and bemoaned when they were at the height of their powers, Smashing Pumpkins have never lacked for ambition. The prescient swirling din of their 1991 debut, Gish, only continued to get bigger and bigger as the years went on and budgets grew, and even the band’s storied dismantling was big and complicated. So much so that the version of Smashing Pumpkins reconstituted by Billy Corgan for 2007’s Zeitgeist bore little resemblance to the original (at least in terms of staffing). Taking a break from Twitter feuds with Courtney Love, Corgan released the second of four Internet-only free EPs last November, part of a larger, reportedly Tarot-inspired project called Teargarden By Kaleidyscope that also encompasses the full-length Oceania, reportedly due this November.
