Wham!

Wham! can mean one of two things:. Zwan performed about 50 new original Corgan songs on its several brief tours, but released only one studio album. Wham!, a 1960s British comic. Widely seen as a vehicle for Corgan's prolific songwriting, Zwan used an intricate three-guitar attack to craft a sound often compared to that of the Smashing Pumpkins album Siamese Dream, albeit more melodic and shot through with an upbeat gentleness. Wham!, a 1980s British pop duo formed by George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley. Lenchantin completed the group in spring 2002. Sweeney recruited Pajo, and the band debuted as a four-piece in late 2001.

Following the breakup of the Smashing Pumpkins, Corgan and Chamberlin joined forces with Sweeney to start Zwan. It featured:. Zwan was a short-lived "indie supergroup" that formed in 2001 and disbanded in 2003. VH1 Biography (http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/zwan/bio.jhtml).
