Of all the major alternative rock bands of the early '90s, the Smashing Pumpkins were the group least influenced by traditional underground rock. Lead guitarist/songwriter Billy Corgan fashioned an amalgam of progressive rock, heavy metal, goth rock, psychedelia, and dream pop, creating a layered, powerful sound driven by swirling, distorted guitars. Corgan was wise enough to exploit his angst-ridden lyrics, yet he never shied away from rock star posturing, even if he did cloak it in allegedly ironic gestures. In fact, the Smashing Pumpkins became the model for alternative rock success. Nirvana was too destructive and Pearl Jam shunned success. The Pumpkins, on the other hand, knew how to play the game, signing to a major-subsidized indie for underground credibility and moving to the major in time to make the group a multi-platinum act. And when the group did achieve mass success with 1993's Siamese Dream, they went a long way to legitimize heavy metal and orchestrated prog rock, helping move alternative rock even closer to '70s AOR, especially in the eyes of radio programmers and mainstream audiences. Unlike many of their contemporaries, the Pumpkins were able to withstand many internal problems and keep selling records, emerging as the longest-lasting and most successful alternative band of the early '90s. The son of a jazz guitarist, Billy Corgan grew up in a Chicago suburb, leaving home at the age of 19 to move to Florida with his fledgling goth metal band, the Marked. After the band failed down South, he returned to Chicago around 1988, where he began working at a used-record store. At the shop he met James Iha (guitar), a graphic arts student at Loyola University, and the two began collaborating, performing and recording songs with a drum machine. Corgan met D'Arcy Wretzky at a club show; after arguing about the merits of the Dan Reed Network, the two became friends and she joined the group as a bassist. - (Read more)

Lost Weekends is an amazing debut album by Solo Adultos, a project of The Farangs vocalist/guitarist extraordinaire Chris Cote and the multi-instrumentalist visionary Janne Haavisto. The opening song, Lost Weekend (Lah Hee!) takes the listener on a journey through perhaps Cuba, Hawaii, China, or even some undiscovered country on an expedition off the beaten track. Everything is possible in the world of Solo Adultos. Melancholy, yet beautiful, melodies of the Euro-western cinema meet the soft soul of India, the New York subway becomes a perfectly good instrument, and the Blues is sung in various languages. The first things about Lost Weekends that will grab the listener, are the unbelievable flexibility of Chris Cote´s voice and the unpredictability of Haavisto´s musical ideas. This record is guaranteed to give you surprise after surprise.

Originally, The Shiftless Rounders were characters in Eli Kaplan’s 2001 play, “Black Eye.” The two wayward musicians find themselves in a Midwest greasy spoon, trapped in a blizzard. Strangers among the locals, all of whom suffer from restlessness and heartache, The Shiftless Rounders quickly identify with their serendipitous company. The play enjoyed a successful run in Western Massachusetts. The Shiftless Rounders began touring in late 2003.
