    Never liked the Smashing Pumpkins anyway, so I would doubt if I would like that band.

    But to say you are crazy about a cover band is a different story altogether.

    Saw them play in the TBMC. Absolutely brilliant. Never saw a "tribute" band get asked for an encore like that before. They have a proper light show, But the Bassist seems to be afraid of the light (He was huddled in a corner of the stage for most of the night) But the sound of their guitars were pitch perfect. It was really really good.
