A Chicago TV producer has unearthed video footage of the first ever TV appearance by Smashing Pumpkins – years before they became a household name.
The band appeared on a local cable access show called The Pulse in 1988, after sending in a demo tape for the show’s ‘Basement Jam’ segment.
Producer Lou Hinkhouse says even in 1988 “we knew there were on to something”.
Ever see a band before they got famous?
