Smashing Pumpkins have announced the release of a new vinyl, Live At The Viper Room 1998, available to pre-order next week.
The band’s second archival release was recorded at The Viper Room in West Hollywood, California, on January 15, 1998. The 13-song set saw frontman Billy Corgan perform Smashing Pumpkins songs in acoustic form.
“The thing you hear in the Viper Room show is you’re really sort of being allowed into the studio where the songs don’t have the accoutrement of all the bells and whistles,” Corgan said in an Instagram clip announcing the vinyl. “There’s a certain innocence before songs are released to the world.”
Live At The Viper Room 1998 will be available to pre-order exclusively through Madame ZuZu’s site (Corgan’s plant-based tea shop) on July 31.
