No, they haven't rescheduled all those cancelled European dates yet, but the friendly Texans behind Explosions in the Sky have found cause to procrastinate on that a bit longer. It seems his holiness Billy Corgan appeared unto them in the guise of a burning bush, charging the quartet with the unenviable duty of killing their only sonopening for Smashing Pumpkins.

The crescendo-happy foursome joins Billy and His entourage for 11 dates, but not before a brief round of late summer festival stints. Between the explosions and the burning and the smashing, you're in for a delightfully violent tour.
