The Smashing Pumpkins

In April 2010, when The Smashing Pumpkins performed "Stumbleine" live at Amoeba Music for Record Store Day, they were riding the waves of their ambitious album, *Oceania*, which had been released just a few years earlier in 2012. This performance reflects a unique moment in their career, showcasing the band’s transformation as they experimented with their sound while staying true to their roots. It’s fascinating to note that this live gig, celebrating indie music culture and community, demonstrated their commitment to connecting with fans in authentic settings. The intimate vibe of a record store perfectly contrasted the band's arena rock legacy. Did you know that *Oceania* was part of a broader solo project by Billy Corgan, merging art and music? This performance was just a glimpse into the evolving identity of The Smashing Pumpkins, reminding us how live music can breathe new life into beloved tracks while engaging fans in a deeply personal way.
