So, James Iha has an interesting new project...

It seems James Iha, of Smashing Pumpking and Perfect Circle fame, is starting another musical project called Tinted Windows. He's gotten together quite an eclectic mix of preformers:

James Iha(Guitar) - Smashing Pumpkins, A Perfect Circle
Bun E. Carlos(Drums) - Cheap Trick
Adam Schlesinger (Bass) - Fountains of Wayne, songwriter
Taylor Hanson (Vocals) - Hanson, Mmmbop

Supergroups are all the rage these days, but this is a really diverse and interesting group of performers. They've got a gig next month in Austin, TX and an album ready to hit shelves. The album is slated for Spring 2009, which sounds like the public's reaction will be gauged after a few gigs and the situation reassessed.

Not sure how this will work out, but I'll definitely be checking them out once they've got some more info and a single or two "leaked".

Here's a press release masquerading as a Billboard article...

Ive been a hardcore Smashing Pumpkins fan all my life.

I even got James Iha`s solo album, but i dont have much faith in this.

But who knows.

im not a fan of any of them specifically, but super-group collaborations (mainstream or not) in general can produce some great or at least interesting results. hopefully this is a passionate music project and not just a publicity move...

wow. love the smashing pumpkins and APC but this looks a little too far out for my tastes. i'd still check them out though i guess.
