The day after Halloween usually sees a lot of jack-o'-lanterns that have met with some violence. In that vein, alternative rocker Billy Corgan could not have picked a better marketing strategy for his latest show.

Alt-rockers Smashing Pumpkins are set to release a 44-track album "absolutely for free." The band announced that they will be giving away their next album "Teargarden by Kaleidyscope" after they have finished recording it.

Drummer Jimmy Chamberlin's exit from The Smashing Pumpkins has opened doors for all wannabe drummers to grab this opportunity of a life time. The Chicago rockers are holding auditions in Los Angeles on April 10, seeking a replacement for founding member Chamberlin, who quit the band earlier this month.

Smashing Pumpkins' drummer Jimmy Chamberlain has parted ways with the band, it has been announced. Chamberlain was one of the original members of the Alternative rock band and played on all of their albums except for the 1998 release Adore.
