    One Pumpkin, One Fountain, One Trick And A Hanson Add Up To Tinted Windows

    Published by MTV News on Wednesday, February 18, 2009 at 6:44 pm.
    By Melanie Wolfson

    Take one graying former Smashing Pumpkins axman, a Hanson brother-turned-father, a 57-year-old Cheap Trick drummer and the Fountains of Wayne bassist, and what do you have?

    Tinted Windows, the music world’s latest, relatively head-scratching supergroup.

    That’s right — James Iha (Smashing Pumpkins), Bun E. Carlos (Cheap Trick), Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne) and Taylor Hanson have joined forces as the curiously named Windows. They even have a MySpace page, so it has to be legit.


    And while, sure, it may seem like the oddest grouping of musicians ever, a closer look reveals that maybe Tinted Windows aren’t so random after all. Schlesinger and Iha co-own Stratosphere Sound Studios (along with Ivy’s Andy Chase), where Tinted Windows recorded their debut. And back when Iha was in the Pumpkins, they used to cover Cheap Trick songs (most notably “Baby Loves to Rock”) live in concert. We’re not really sure where the 25-year-old Hanson brother fits in, but, hey, it’s a supergroup … and since when do supergroups have to make complete sense?

    The band’s album is expected to be released this spring, and they’ll be making their debut performance at Billboard’s South by Southwest showcase on March 20.

    Laugh if you want to, but we all know how Taylor’s voice swept us away with “Mmmbop.” If that’s any indication, then Tinted Windows just might be the next big thing.

    Is this what the Jonas Brothers sound like?

    They sound pretty bland.

    When the guy annouced the songs titles "Kind of a girl" and "Messing with my head". That Family Guy clip came to mind.

    LOL, I didn't even realize I had posted actual footage. I just assumed it was a static picture with the song playing (I heard it on the Rolling Stone blog). I guess I'm not the only one who was thinking Jonas Brothers according to the notes the uploader put in.

    Anyways, after watching the vid, I can't help but feel/hope this is an elaborate hoax.

    I'm a big Pumpkins & Ivy fan, so I wasn't surprised when I first heard this (and the Pumpkins-Cheap Trick connection actually goes beyond doing covers)...EXCEPT FOR THE HANSON PART.

    But Hanson or not, just say no.

    I watched that first one minute, thinking this was surely a joke. Especially with that reporter.

    Bun E. Carlos must be in serious money trouble to hook up with those three used smelly douchebags.
