New Forecastle headliner: Smashing Pumpkins

Smashing Pumpkins -- which ruled the '90s alt-rock scene -- will be the Saturday headliner at Forecastle Festival. The Pumpkins' lineup includes only singer/guitarist Billy Corgan from the original iconic lineup circa 1993's "Siamese Dream," the band's first commercially successful album. The newest release, "Teargarden by Kaleidyscore," which the band is basically releasing in spurts.

Here's from the press release:
