THE GUITARIST FROM THIS BAND...
HOOKED UP WITH THE DRUMMER FROM THIS BAND...
AND RECRUITED ONE OF THE DUDES FROM THIS BAND...
TO WRITE AND RECORD WITH ONE OF THESE FELLAS SINGING LEAD (THE TALENTED ONE)
That's right. James Iha from smashing pumpkins fame will be shredding his axe with the drummer from cheap trick (the folks who brought you "I want you to want me") while Adam Schlessinger from fountains of wayne provides bass guitar services. And yes, the kid from Hanson will be singing. Seems like an odd match up in some ways. But in other ways I suppose it makes all kinds of sense. The potential is here for some really good music (oh come on don't pretend like "MMMBOP" isn't one of the most infectious pop songs of the last 25 years, you know you secretly listened when no one else was in the car!)
Of course they'll have to overcome one of the most powerful and universal principles of the rock and roll universe: Supergroups always suck. No matter what. They super-suck.
So... we'll see. Click the title of the post for a listen.
