Billy Corgan's post-Smashing Pumpkins supergroup. Besides Billy, Zwan counted among it's ranks David Pajo of Slint and Matt Sweeney of Chavez on guitar, Paz Lenchantin of A Perfect Circle on bass and Jimmy Chamberlain on drums. This was recorded by Billy in Steve Albini's Electrical Audio studio in Chicago and was mixed by Alan Moulder. Guitar-heavy rock that any fan of the Smashing Pumpkins can get behind, it is definitely better that the last couple Pumpkins albums. When Zwan played SNL and a couple other late-night shows they looked to be having a real good time on stage together, which made it seem all the more odd when Billy broke the band up a few months after this album was released. Billy later claimed that it was because some of the members were having too much fun on tour, but in reality it was because Billy is an insufferable prick.
