Band Members From Smashing Pumpkins, Cheap Trick and HANSON?? Form New Group

Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - Taylor Hanson of the siblings trio Hanson is joining Smashing Pumpkin's former guitarist James Iha, Cheap Trick's drummer Bun E. Carlos and Fountain of Wayne bassist Adam Schlesinger to form a new group called Tinted Windows.

The quartet have already recorded their debut album at the Stratosphere Sound Studios in New York, which Schlesinger and Iha co-own with Andy Chase of Ivy.

They will play their first major show at Billboard's South by Southwest showcase on March 20 at Pangaea in Austin, Texas.

The LP is set to hit the stores this spring on a label that is yet to be announced, Billboard reports.

  1. I don't even know what to say about this. This is very high on my list of What The Fuck moments in music history. James Iha is really scraping the bottom of the barrel these days, it seems. Fountains of Wayne? Really? Come on.
