The Smashing Pumpkins

Back on May 2, 2023, The Smashing Pumpkins gave fans a special treat at the iHeartRadio Theater in Burbank during a secret album release show. This live performance came hot on the heels of their album *Atum: A Rock Opera in Three Acts*, which was released in November 2022. It marked yet another chapter in the band's evolution, showcasing their knack for blending nostalgia with contemporary sound. It’s interesting to note that "Zero," which they performed during the show, remains one of their quintessential tracks—famed for its catchy riffs and raw emotion. The fact that this performance was part of a limited, intimate setting really highlighted their relationship with fans and that ever-present hunger for connection in their music. Plus, having a seasoned drummer like Cliff around just adds to their dynamic, doesn’t it? It reflects a beautiful continuity, reminding us that even after all these years, the Pumpkins still know how to strike a chord.
