I heard about this a few days ago on radio. Arent tickets sold out?
actually aragon ballroom has a few tickets left because this tour was rescheduled from nov. so yeah. its a 2 part concert, black sunshine and white crosses tour, every show is different set both nights. 1st night is aragon ballroom and 2nd is chicago auditorium. They already did a 2 night performance here already, so the last shows are this weekend.

too bad its sold out
I FUCKING KNOW..pissed me off. One of my favorite bands of my youth, never seen them live, they come back for a ruinen show in the city im living in and its sold out. I found out like a day too short.
Smashing Pumpkins was my favorite band along with Radiohead. If the Pumkins were a full squad i will go so them. But not its just not the same.

How can you call them the Pumpkins when they don't have James Iha or Darcie? That's like saying the new Guns N Roses album with Axl is actually considered Guns N Roses. Uncle Fester should stop using the band's name and reputation and just call it the Corgan project.
FYI, I've hung out with Corgan back in the day...he's an uber prick...and Iha used to practice in the basement of my biology building when I went to Loyola. I'm a huge fan..but holding onto long gone memories of what was is silly. You'll have fun regardless at the Brawlroom Milo...I just have beef with Corgan.
Seen Hum twice..definitely a great live show if you get the chance to see them Blakers. I'd put them up there with when I saw Nirvana and Rage for the first time.

exactly, i was really tempted when they first came around. maybe, if one other member was with them i would go, but this isn't the pumpkins.

it's kinda ironic, because before there was all of the drama with whether jimmy chamberlain would return to the group after john melvoin's overdose, and now it's just jimmy and billy and no one else.

$$$ most likely...Jimmy couldn't live in Plainfield forever.
