The Smashing Pumpkins ‘Knights of Malta’
Welcome The Smashing Pumpkins playing ‘Knights of Malta’. Just recently the men dressed in black played The Late Show.
The Smashing Pumpkins took the stage at The Late Show to offer a melancholy rendition of their song “Knights of Malta.”
The musicians, led by frontman Billy Corgan, performed the song with skill but with a complete lack of real verve or energy.
The band is joined by a trio of female backup singers, who lend accompaniment as Corgan croons,
“I’m gonna fly forever/ We’re gonna ride the rainbow.”
The track comes off the band’s recent 10th album Shiny and Oh So Bright, Vol. 1 / LP: No Past. No Future. No Sun, which dropped last fall. The album was released via Corgan’s own label, Martha’s Music, and was produced by Rick Rubin and recorded at his Shangri La Studios.
The Smashing Pumpkins (or Smashing Pumpkins) are an American alternative rock band from Chicago, Illinois. Formed in 1988 by frontman Billy Corgan (lead vocals, guitar), D’arcy Wretzky (bass), James Iha (guitar), and Jimmy Chamberlin (drums), the band has undergone many line-up changes.
The current lineup features Corgan, Chamberlin, Iha and guitarist Jeff Schroeder.
