Pumpkins Looking For Bassist

2010-03-10 by Prophet178 | 24 Comments
The Smashing Pumpkins have announced they are now searching for a bassist/keyboardist to replace Ginger Pooley, who recently departed the band in order to be with her family.

Frontman Billy Corgan commented: "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."

Corgan added: "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."

Corgan gave details on how to audition: "Bassists and keyboardists looking to play with The Pumpkins should send their background info (including age, a resume of any bands/recorded work), photos and performance web links via email only, either to pumpkinsbass@gmail.com or pumpkinskeys@gmail.com. Note: only musicians with video clips can be considered. Youtube.com type posts are perfect--that's how Mike[drummer] was found. Final date for submission is March 31st."

I thought Corgan was like best bros with all the 90's acts? Most of them aren't doing anything anymore, why not just ask them?

Like Avery or something

...and that is how you conduct an open-doors search for a bassist.

I will agree. They deserve absolutely nothing. Nothing more than me.

What a joke the Pumpkins have become. Jimmy Chamberlain isn't even in the group anymore.

Pumpkins' line-up changes are like 50x worse than what Tony Iommi did to Black Sabbath after both Ozzy AND Dio left (and soon, the rest of the band).
