Kiki Wong got her first guitar from Costco at 13 years old. Now she's joining The Smashing Pumpkins.
The Smashing Pumpkins has been an iconic alt-rock ban for decades. And now the group has added a new member to help them carry on for decades more. 'The news you have been waiting for has finally arrived,' the band announced on social media last week. 'SP is excited to officially welcome highly-skilled veteran guitarist Kiki Wong. Kiki joins the band's touring lineup of Billy Corgan, Jimmy Chamberlin, and James Iha, along with mainstays Jack Bates and Katie Cole.
'Her music became so popular that Smashing Pumpkins co-founder and lead singer Billy Corgan says he was a fan of hers 'before she submitted her name to be considered.' 'It's great that someone of her acumen will be part of our touring family,' Corgan said. 'I can't wait to hit the road with Kiki as part of our mad circus.' The band is headed out on an international tour this summer, kicking off in the U.K. in June before hitting the U.S.
