Big break for Beaverton drummer (Smashing Pumpkins)

Hello Beaverton! Welcome to the 90s!

OK, so I'm giving a bit of guff to Billy Corgan of (the re-ressurrected) Smashing Pumpkins - but a young Beaverton drummer got kind of a cool chance at the big time.

Corgan held tryouts this srpring and has just announced 19-year-old Mike Byrne as the new drummer.

He played in bands Moses and Smell the Roses.

You can see him playing at Beaverton Guitar Center's drumoff Big break for Beaverton drummer (Smashing Pumpkins)
