Last Saturday, Boston University’s Agganis Arena was filled with the sounds of the Smashing Pumpkins on their somewhat exclusive Oceania Tour. Billy Corgan, the voice behind some of the most moving music of ‘90s grunge, was joined on stage by current band members Jeff Schroeder (rhythm guitar), Mike Byrne (drums), and Nicole Fiorentino (bass). One look around, and it was clear that a common love for the music that fed everyone’s angst during their formative years was what brought this colorful medley of fans together.

Shpongle’s visit to South Florida on Tuesday, October 23 had been zealously awaited for quite some time.

The heat and estrogen hung like a web in a room filled with hardcore females. The kind of chicks, that after a few beers, you’d better not mess with. The doors at Culture Room opened at 8 p.m. sharp on Saturday, October 20, and the protective clan blanketing the floor held its ground, literally, without budging. Toting my camera above my head, I booked it to the front of the venue, knowing the lady of the night would begin her show at any minute. It was 10 p.m., and I squeezed in front of a dready couple that didn’t seem all to eager to scoot, and next to a fiery redhead named Vicki, who stood with a simple smile.
