Smashing Pumpkins bassist Ginger Pooley has left the band to raise her new baby with her husband, and Billy Corgan is looking for a new bassist via an open audition process. Auditions will also be held for a new keyboardist—Billy wants one who is a fan of—and can play in the prog-rock style of—Jon Lord and Rick Wakeman.
Billy says that while he is heartbroken that Ginger is leaving the group, he really respects her decision to put her family first.
"We were lucky enough to find drummer Mike Byrne through an open audition process," BILLY adds, "so why not open the doors again to anyone who might be interested for the bass or keyboard position. As you can see from our past and present, age, race, or a person's background is not an issue. Everyone is truly welcome to audition."
