Former Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha, Cheap Trick drummer Bun E. Carlos, Hanson's Taylor Hanson and Fountains Of Wayne bassist Adam Schlesinger have formed a new band, Tinted Windows.
The group has recorded its debut album at Stratosphere Sound Studios in New York, which Schlesinger and Iha co-own with Ivy’s Andy Chase. The set is expected this spring on a label to be announced. Tinted Windows will play its first major show at Billboard’s South by Southwest showcase, to be held March 20 at Pangaea in Austin, Texas.
I tell James of Appetite for Distraction and this was his response:
It COULD be ok
Hanson was very talented
This is our generation's Damn Yankees
But let me just say this, I hope there aren't any fights at SXSW
because Tinted Windows will lose
I don't care if they were involved or not, they'll still lose
I look forward to seeing what happens with this project.

It does sort of smack of the Damn Yankees.
You skipped the part where I took 14 hours to think of Damn Yankees...and I didn't even end up coming up with the name! You did!
Dude, seriously, what if this band changes our lives? Like "You know James Iha from Tinted Windows? Of course you do. Well, he used to be in another band called the Smashing Pumpkins, if you've ever heard of them"
Hilarious! Just might be good enough to get mentioned as TFW.
