The Veronicas singer has joined Corgan for the Pumpkins’ visit Down Under, which hits Festival Hall tonight.
Origliasso introduced Corgan to Summer Heights High on DVD in the US (“by the second episode I was hooked”) and he yesterday accompanied her on a shopping trip around Melbourne.
Corgan, who has written a song called Pretty Pretty for the new Veronicas album, will meet the extended Origliasso clan in Brisbane next week: “I’ve already met the parents, but I haven’t met all the rest of the family, so we’ll see how that goes,” Corgan told music writer Cameron Adams, “I’ve got no tattoos, so I’m ahead of the game.”
Corgan, who yelled “I love you, Jess” from the stage in Adelaide this week, said his girlfriend had noted the band’s wide appeal.
“Jessica said she can’t believe the diversity of our audience: there’s stoners, kids, Gen-Xers, housewives,” he said. “That tells you how many audiences I’ve built and burnt.”
