Smashing Pumpkins fans 'could win Fender Stratocaster'
Posted on 15 Sep 2010 11:34 to category : Band / Celebrity News
American rock group Smashing Pumpkins have released an exclusive free track to tempt fans to win a Fender Stratocaster.
The song called Spangled is available on this offer from the band's official website and the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund.
Fans who purchase the track from the Sweet Relief website will also be in with a chance to win a Billy Corgan Fender Stratocaster - signed by the founder member himself.
This offer is aimed at encouraging music enthusiasts to give money towards the Sweet Relief appeal, which provides support to musicians with MS, diabetes, disabilities and caner.
Speaking about Spangled, which is the second track from the group's second EP called Teargarden by Kaleidyscope Volume 2: The Solstice Bare, Corgan said: "It's just a pretty song."
Spangled is also the sixth track to be released from Teargarden by Kaleidyscope - the group's 44-song project.
The band are currently on a world tour and will be performing in the US this month, before taking their show to Australia and South America later this year.
