Fancy yourself as a Pumpkin??





A Smashing Pumpkin that is. Billy Corgan has announced he is holding open auditions for a new bassist and keyboard player with the band. Following bassist Ginger Polley's decision to leave The SP's, Billy released this statement:
"Although I am heartbroken that Ginger is leaving the group, I really respect her decision to put her family first. I appreciate everything that she has contributed to The Smashing Pumpkins, and I'm proud of her for being such a great musician and friend. We were lucky enough to find drummer Mike Byrne through an open audition process, so why not open the doors again to anyone who might be interested for the bass or keyboard position. As you can see from our past and present, age, race, or a person's background is not an issue. Everyone is truly welcome to audition.”

If you fancy your chances and think you have what it takes to be in The Smashing Pumpkins, you can send background information, photos, and performance web links to PumpkinsBass@gmail.com or PumpkinsKeys@gmail.com!!
