The Smashing Pumpkins Announce Search for New Bassist, Keyboardist

View Single Page

Billy Corgan has announced that he will look for a new Smashing Pumpkins bassist via open auditions starting over the Internet, just as he did with drummer Mike Byrne last year. Auditions will be held in the same way for a new keyboardist who is a fan of — and can play in the prog-rock style of — Jon Lord and Rick Wakeman.

Prove to Billy that you're a bassist, not a vampire.
