The Smashing Pumpkins is an alternative rock band from Chicago, formed in 1988. Fun fact: Billy Corgan, the lead singer, was working at a record store where he met the guitarist, James Iha. Fun fact #2: The band recorded this album, ‘Siamese Dream’ in Georgia to keep the drummer away from his drug dealers back home because he was addicted to heroin. Here’s an awesome NPR Tiny Desk Concert of Billy Corgan.
