Smashing Pumpkins Are Seeking A New Guitarist And Fans Can Apply

LOADING ERROR LOADING The Smashing Pumpkins is opening up a dream job listing to the fans. The band took to social media on Friday in search of a new guitarist after Jeff Schroeder announced his departure from the group in October. “The application process is open to anyone who might be interested,” noted the band, whose post directed people to send their résumé and “related materials” to the group’s management company.

The guitarist, in an Instagram post at the time , reflected on joining a band he was a “huge fan” of and described the move as “one of the best decisions” he made in his life. “Although it was a very difficult decision to make, I’ve decided to leave the band to make some space to explore a slightly different path,” he wrote.
