BILLY TALKS ABOUT THE VERONICAS NEW ALBUM

Ebony — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 21:27:13 +0000

In our biggest hint yet as to what we can expect from The Veronicas third album (which is rumoured to be released June/July) – Billy Corgan has talked to V Music and TripleJ about his involvement in the new album.

“The Splendour in the Grass headliner revealed details about the collaboration in an interview with triple j telling The Doctor: “I play guitar on one song. There’s this really great track they have that’s probably going to be the opening track. I don’t know what they’re going to call it; it was tentatively called I’m a Veronica. I know it sounds funny but there’s strange aggressive rapping on it so in the middle of the song it breaks down in to a kinda heavy metal song with a super demonic Black Sabbath type riff. It’s easily the best album they’ve ever made. They’ve worked so hard and I’ve been intimately involved on a lot of levels.”

Personally, I’ll die if there’s any song that mentions anything to do with being a Veronica!!

“VELVET REVOLVER/ex-GUNS N’ ROSES drummer Matt Sorum is putting the finishing touches on the new album from Cherie Currie (THE RUNAWAYS), tentatively due later this year. The CD will feature additional contributions from Nick Maybury (PERRY FARRELL, MINK) and Grant Fitzpatrick (MINK) and is described by Sorum as “a great representation of Cherie’s voice.” He revealed to VH1 Radio Networks’ Dave Basner, “I told her when I said I’d produce it, ‘You have to trust me on this. You need to make a cool, current rock and roll album.’ The album is very much a rock album with some depth.”
Matt told VH1 Radio Networks he’s recruited some of his famous friends to help out on the effort.
“It’s sounding great; I’m really excited about that,” he said. “Slash [VELVET REVOLVER, GUNS N' ROSES] played on it, Duff [McKagan; VELVET REVOLVER, GUNS N' ROSES] played on it, I got Billy Corgan [SMASHING PUMPKINS] on a track, THE VERONICAS are coming in, Juliette Lewis, Courtney Love…”

PRETTY PRETTY

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.”
