Smashing Pumpkins “Reunite” For Fall Tour

By Dillon Wallin | October 6, 2008

Half of The Smashing Pumpkins are hitting the road to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the band.  Frontman Billy Corgan and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin will be starting their tour in Cleveland on November 1 and ending in LA on December 3.  

As on their 2007 album Zeitgeist, original members D’arcy and James Iha are not included in the band’s lineup.

The Smashing Pumpkins will play five cities twice on this tour, on consecutive nights.  They promise to play two full sets with no overlapping songs for fans who attend both nights.  The Chicago rockers will also play four nights in their hometown.

October 26 is a big day for the band as well.  They’ll headline Neil Young’s Bridge School Benefit that day, and release a new single “G.L.O.W.” as part of Guitar Hero World Tour, following in the footsteps of other bands such as Aerosmith and Metallica to feature their music in the popular gaming series.

LA, Anyone?

By Randi Niklekaj | August 11, 2008

Would you like to sleep where Bono, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston and Aerosmith have all laid their heads?  Well, you can do just that at Los Angeles celebrity hotspot, “Hotel Sunset Marquis”, People Magazine reports.

The hotel offers a spa treatment, butler service, Bar 1200 and private villas surrounded by more than 4,000 plants and trees. A private in-house recording studio, “Night Bird,” allows rock ‘n roll gods to record any time. Bring your credit card; the private villas can cost as much as $7,000.

 

L.A. is also home to Kitson shopping boutique. This famous and unique experience offers everything from $2 toothpaste to $2,000 shirts. It also houses designers like Victoria Beckham, Paris Hilton and Gwen Stefani. Angelina Jolie and Sienna Miller have both shopped Kitson. It opens early and closes late for private A-list shopping sessions. No wonder Jessica Simpson once spent almost $12,000, People Magazine said.

Where to party in L.A.? Club Villa! This super-exclusive club has played host to Kid Rock, Justin Timberlake, David Beckham, Kate Hudson and Leonardo DiCaprio. Villa has the oldest liquor license in L.A. and Hollywood legends like Carey Grant used to stop by back in the day.  But good luck getting in - the toughest door in town means you have to know one of the owners.
