The Smashing Pumpkins Take Over Lithium

This weekend, Billy Corgan, James Iha, and Jimmy Chamberlin — better known as The Smashing Pumpkins — take control of Lithium (Ch. 34) to play their favorite ’90s alternative and grunge artists and influences. Plus, they’ll discuss their flannel-era classics and introduce you to their brand new three-part rock opera concept album, Atum (pronounced “autumn”).
