For singer Billy Corgan, it was also his 46th birthday so he treated it like a party. The audience serenaded him with a chorus of ‘Happy Birthday’.
Smashing Pumpkins was one of the surprise unannounced SXSW shows. When delegates discovered the band was in town to play 500 surrounded the venue on the street outside to listen from the road of the crowded Austin street.
