James Iha

James Iha played on two songs during the sessions for Billy Corgan's solo album, 'Ogilala.'

Smashing Pumpkins didn't rocket to stardom with their 1991 debut, but 'Gish' set an elaborate (and psychedelic) stage for Corgan and Co. to explore.

The original was about a mom who grew increasingly suspicious of her daughter's boyfriend. Franco's version is a lesbian vampire drama.

The original bassist for Smashing Pumpkins said she hasn't spoken to Billy Corgan since he fired her in 1999, but she's open to rejoining the band.

For his 48th birthday, the former Smashing Pumpkins guitarist helped Billy Corgan play a selection of songs from their 1993 breakthrough, 'Siamese Dream.'

A pair of previously unheard 'Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness'-era Smashing Pumpkins recordings have emerged online.

Billy Corgan isn't the only member of the classic Smashing Pumpkins lineup still churning out alt-rock ditties these days. Former Pumpkins guitarist James Iha, who parted ways with the band when they split in 2000 and wasn't invited back when they reunited in 2005, has been involved in several projects since, including the Maynard James Keenan-fronted alternative metal supergroup A Perfect Circle

James Iha wanders through the desert and encounters strange characters and a powerful egg-shaped object in the somewhat baffling video for his new single, 'To Who Knows Where.'

Former Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha is pressing forward with his solo career after toiling with A Perfect Circle and Tinted Windows in recent years. The musician has just polished off a new album titled 'Look to the Sky,' which is expected in stores Sept. 18 via the End Records.
