ZERO: The story behind the iconic Smashing Pumpkins tee.
I came across a Tweet from The Smashing Pumpkins — a retweet, actually — of a fan excited to finally put their hands on a ZERO shirt. Remember this?
I’ve have wanted this @SmashingPumpkin shirt since I was a teenager!
Finally got one! So excited for fall! pic.twitter.com/o9s8cxWcEY— Gabriel M. (@FireDragon1227_) July 16, 2020
Kind of hard NOT to remember. Starting in the mid 90s, THIS was the standard uniform for Billy Corgan at most every concert. The backstory on how this came to be is pretty interesting, which FeelNumb detailed a few years back. Among the things you can learn from the article:
- The business from which the original ZERO t-shirt is from.
- How ZERO morphed into a fictional character for one of the band’s albums.
- How much an original ZERO t-shirt worn by Billy sold for on an eBay auction.
If you’re interested in snagging one for yourself, check out the Smashing Pumpkins merch shop. — [eric]
UK getting indoor concerts next month
Well, get ready to get jealous! United Kingdom prime minister Boris Johnson announced this week as part of phase 4 in a COVID-19 response plan, that live concerts will return in England next month. These indoor performances will be held under very strict guidelines with social distancing, reduced attendance counts, online ticketing, sanitizing stations, and staggered show schedules to break up the flow. This follows news from a few weeks ago covering the opening of a very unique outdoor music venue that was designed completely with socially distancing due to COVID-19 in mind.
England has currently 294,000 reported cases of the Coronavirus.

Rise Against release expanded version of ‘the Black Market’
Watch Tim from Rise Against perform ‘People from Here’ in the LOUNGE.
Hometown heroes Rise Against released a deluxe version of their magnificent 2014 album, ‘the Black Market’ with three new tracks which had previously been released on vinyl and as b-sides on foreign singles. The three new songs are “About Damn Time”,“We Will Never Forget” and “Escape Artists”. Lead guitarist Zach Blair called the album their darkest to date but also their most “triumphant” according to Consequence of Sound. It definitely another example of RA’s continued efforts to always evolve yet stay true to their emotional gravity in putting in the good fight for the right thing.
You can stream it here on Spotify,.
