Smashing Pumpkins Name Kiki Wong As New Guitarist After Extensive Search

Smashing Pumpkins have named Kiki Wong as their new guitarist after an extensive search.

After longtime guitarist Jeff Schroeder bid good bye in October 2023, the rock band started the recruitment process, with frontman Billy Corgan calling for applications for replacement.

From more than 10,000 applications received, Corgan filtered down to a shortlist. On the basis of audition of candidates in Los Angeles, he finally picked Wong.

The veteran guitarist has shared stages with acts like Bebe Rexha, Taylor Swift, Usher, Bret Michaels, as well as with rock bands Nylon Pink, Hellfire Heart, and currently Vigil of War.

"I was a fan of Kiki's before she submitted her name to be considered - and it's great that someone of her acumen will be part of our touring family. I can't wait to hit the road with Kiki as part of our mad circus. It's definitely an exciting moment for The Smashing Pumpkins to be this busy with touring in 2024. We'll see you all this summer," Corgan said in a statement.

Wong said she is "beyond honored and humbled to be chosen to perform alongside some of rock's greatest and most influential musicians of all time."

The new Smashing Pumpkins lineup, featuring Wong, Corgan, guitarist James Iha, drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, touring members Jack Bates (bass) and Katie Cole (guitar, keys, vocals), is scheduled to make its debut with a U.K. and European Tour beginning at Utilita Arena in Birmingham on June 7.

Florence + The Machine To Perform 'Lungs' In Full At BBC Proms

Florence + The Machine To Perform 'Lungs' In Full At BBC Proms

Florence + The Machine have announced they will give a special performance of their debut album, Lungs, in celebration of the record's 15th anniversary.

The concert, titled "Symphony of Lungs," will take place on September 11th at the Royal Albert Hall in London as part of the BBC Proms classical music festival and will be aired live on BBC Radio 3.

The performance will also be recorded and broadcast later on BBC Radio 1, BBC TWO, and BBC iPlayer.

Florence Welch will perform the album in full, with backup support from Jules Buckley and his Orchestra.

"This album was such a patchwork of a period of time of my messy teenage years and early twenties," Welch said of the upcoming anniversary show in a press release. "I had no idea what I was doing or where it would go, and a lot of the songs are simply an exhalation of joy. But that's really where the sound of Florence + The Machine was born. So, to have it still be so present in people's hearts 15 years later and to be invited to play through it orchestrally at the BBC Proms is such an honour."

Welch announced the concert in a new interview with British Vogue.

"When [the invitation] came in, they were like, 'We know you're off, but would you.?' and I was like, 'Yes!'," Welch said. "The background to life in my house is classical music, and especially the more obscure things. So it's a really exciting thing to be asked to do - the Proms is just so special."

The eight-week BBC Proms festival, which is billed as the world's largest classical music festival, offers 90 concerts running from July 19th to September 14th.

Twenty One Pilots Delay Release Of New Album 'Clancy'

Twenty One Pilots Delay Release Of New Album 'Clancy'

Twenty One Pilots have announced they are delaying the release of their new record Clancy, as they plan to make music videos for every track on the album.

The duo had originally planned to release the 13-track record on May 17 via Fueled By Ramen.

A video posted to Tyler Joseph's social media account says the release data has been moved to May 24.

"When I first told Josh and Mark and everyone on our team that I wanted to do a music video for every song on the album 'Clancy' that's coming out, I told them it's because I love these songs and I believe in them enough to pretend to sing in front of a camera for each one," Joseph said.

He added, "But in order to accomplish that, we need a little bit more time, that's why I'm making this video. We're going to push the album back by one week to May 24. Isn't that exciting! Just a little more time."

The duo first announced their intention to record visuals for every track on the record back in March. Joseph revealed at the time that they had already completed work on eight of the music video, with seven more in the pipeline. The musician confirmed that the two extra videos come from them re-shooting one that was already finished and that one of the songs will have "two versions".

Clancy, which marks the sixth LP from the Columbus duo, is a follow up to their 2021 record Scaled and Icy.

Frank Zappa's Five-Hour Show At Whisky A Go Go To Be Released As Live Album

Frank Zappa's Five-Hour Show At Whisky A Go Go To Be Released As Live Album

Frank Zappa's 5-hour show at the Whisky A Go Go that took place in Los Angeles on July 23, 1968, is set to be released as a live collection on June 21 via Zappa Records/UMe.

Fans can now listen to a previously unreleased version of "The Duke," recorded at the Whisky in '68. Zappa played the song twice at the show, and both the takes are set feature on the upcoming collection.

Ahmet Zappa and Joe Travers produced the Whisky A Go Go, 1968 collection, which contains all the tunes played by The Mothers of Invention across their three sets that night.

The Super Deluxe Edition box set will be released on both 5LP 180-gram black vinyl or 3CD, and it will feature a booklet with many unseen photos from the night's events, along with copious liner notes by Vaultmeister Joe Travers, and an essay by Pamela Des Barres of the Zappa-signed group The GTOs who played that evening.

The box set will also contain an interview by Ahmet Zappa with the legendary Alice Cooper, whose own band made a brief splash that night as one of the featured acts.

"It truly was a night of nights," as Travers says in the liners. "The Mothers performance wasn't perfect, but very good. Frank was in good spirits, the band played well, and the sequence of songs did capture the group's live repertoire of the time."

Dave Grohl Teams Up With Anthrax Members On Bad Brains Cover

Dave Grohl Teams Up With Anthrax Members On Bad Brains Cover

Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl has teamed up with Anthrax members Charlie Benante and Scott Ian for a cover of the Bad Brains song "The Regulator."

The single was released on Record Store Day, April 20th, as a vinyl release. The seven-inch single, limited to 6,000 copies, comes complete with cover art by Benante.

Upon the initial announcement of the single, Ian revealed the story behind the collaboration, saying, "Anthrax were recording our new album at [Grohl's] 606 [studio] and the Foo's were there rehearsing at the same time. Dave had popped into the studio to hang and listen to what we were doing and we'd gone over to hear the Foo's rehearse. I texted Dave the next morning and said: 'Hey! Good to see ya the other day. Are you rehearsing today? I'll be there doing guitars. Wanna record a Minor Threat song? Bad Brains?' He replied immediately with the Spotify link for 'The Regulator.' I said I'd be there at 12:30pm and he said, 'See you at 1.' It was that simple."

He continued, "We recorded at 606. Charlie and I asked Dave if he'd play drums and sing as well, he was in. Charlie plays bass and I'm on guitar. Charlie did the badass art for the cover. GBI!"

Proceeds from the single benefit legendary Bad Brains singer H.R., who is suffering from SUNCT Syndrome, which causes cycles of intense headaches that make it impossible for him to perform.
