A SXSW audience of 350 received a special treat from the Smashing Pumpkins when they performed David Bowie’s “Space Oddity.” Their haunting rendition of the 1969 classic was delivered to the exclusive crowd in true Pumpkins style, soaked in distortion and feedback.
The band played songs from their whole discography for their rooftop performance on the last night of the Austin event. The entire set was recorded for a Guitar Center TV special which will air later this month.
The cover is unfortunately not featured on their newest album, Oceania, but is part of their Guitar Center Sessions Performance on DirecTV, which airs on May 17th at 9pm EST.
