BILLY CORGAN's Attempt At Stand-Up Comedy (Video)

October 19, 2010

Fan-filmed video footage of THE SMASHING PUMPKINS mainman Billy Corgan's nine-minute rant about himself, rugby, drugs and having the hottest girlfriend in Australia (THE VERONICAS' Jessica Origliasso) during the band's October 15, 2010 concert in Melbourne, Australia can be viewed below.

THE SMASHING PUMPKINS recently issued a brand new track, "Spangled", as a free download, marking the sixth release from the band's in-progress 44-song project "Teargarden By Kaleidyscope". It is the second song (the recently released "Freak" was the first) from what will be the band's second EP — "Teargarden By Kaleidyscope Volume 2: The Solstice Bare" — tied to this project.

The PUMPKINS raised over $80,000 at their sold-out benefit concert on July 27 at Chicago's Metro for Matthew Leone, bassist for Chicago band MADINA LAKE. The money is going to the Matthew Leone Fund at Sweet Relief and is helping to pay for the ongoing medical care needed for the musician who this past June was hospitalized with severe brain trauma after intervening to stop a woman he passed on the street from being beaten by her husband.
