Following the success of the open auditions held to find new drummer Mike Byrne, Billy Corgan is now planning to hold more auditions to find a new bassist and keyboard player for the Smashing Pumpkins.
The move follows the departure of Ginger Pooley, who quit the band last week. Corgan explained, "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 think you're in with a shot, email [email protected] or [email protected] with background info, photos and performance web links before March 31st.
Smashing Pumpkins are currently working on their 44 free track project Teargarden By Kaleidoscope. You can listen and download the three tracks released so far in the player below.
