The last time we heard from Bill Corgan, he was making a big stink about Radiohead's "publicity stunts". Or something like that. Well, baldy is back -- confirming this week that the Smashing Pumpkins will be heading out on the road next month to play a string of intimate shows at smaller venues. These will be the "reunited" band's first shows of 2008. After this jaunt, the band will be playing what Corgan is billing as an "anniversary tour" this November (to coincide the Pumpkins' 20th) at higher capacity spaces. No word yet if this will be an actual reunion tour with original members D'Arcy and James Iha (um, please), but this is what Corgan had to say:"The August tour is going to be a blast... Expect a very loud and raucous show from us...and we are very, very happy to know we will finally be playing our own shows come November in New York, L.A., and Chicago... The 20th Anniversary shows will be magical... We are already working on lots of surprises"
Surprises, hmm. We'll see what Billy's got up his sleeve.
