In case you haven't heard or come from a foreign land, Thanksgiving is next week. That means the holidays are upon us, and show announcements are becoming more and more scarce.
This week's group is lead by the Smashing Pumpkins playing a casino. That is literally the most compelling show in the group -- sorry, 311 fans.
Smashing Pumpkins playing a casino -- yep, it's come to this for the spectacularly insufferable Billy Corgan and his merry band of whomever. In all honesty, I have no clue who he tours with nowadays and, frankly, I don't care. Good luck trying to hear any Smashing Pumpkins music recorded before the year 2000 at that show.
