What you get when you mash together Hanson's singer, a Smashing Pumpkins guitarist, Cheap Trick's drummer, and Fountains Of Wayne's bassist.
I really like this. They sound like a power pop version of Smashing Pumpkins, only with a guy who can sing.

Nother great vid.
BTW, here's a link to a story about the Trojen Horse Chinese Drywall. These houses and condos are worthless. http://tiny.cc/fOAyu
James Iha, how is he still alive? Still, he looks just as smacked out as he always did. Bun E Carlos is immortal. I swear he has looked the same for the last 30 years.
Tinted Windows, I am just not that big of a power pop fan. They just aren't the mash up of good bands like Belly or Audioslave was.
Scott, IIRC it was Jimmy Chamberlin who had the heroin problem. I think James Iha just cultivates that look.
Bun E. looked old even back when I was in junior high listening to Cheap Trick. He's still the same fantastic drummer.
Jimmy was the one with the problem, from what I have always understood most of them had the habit, or at the very least a habit for something. In Corgan's case it would have to be stroking to his own ego.
I remember listening to Cheap Trick in junior high as well and thought Bun E was old back then. Who knew.
Funny but speaking of Corgan, I nearly ran over him in downtown Houston once. I parked in a garage across from the Four Seasons and was coming flying out and had to slam on my breaks from hitting him while he crossed the street. He was in town for a Pumpkins concert.
Oh, yeah, the guy is freakishly bigger than you expect.
