About
Zwan was an American alternative rock supergroup formed in 2001 by lead guitarist/vocalist Billy Corgan and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin (both of the Smashing Pumpkins). Other members included bassist Paz Lenchantin (A Perfect Circle), plus guitarists David Pajo (Slint) and Matt Sweeney (Chavez). The band released only one album, Mary Star of the Sea (2003), before breaking up acrimoniously that year during their world tour to promote the album.

Following the disbanding, Corgan released a solo album, TheFutureEmbrace, before reforming the Smashing Pumpkins in 2005, with Chamberlin joining in 2006. Despite allusions to multiple albums' worth of material written by band members, no further material has surfaced beyond their only studio album. None of the material had been revisited in performances by any of the members until a 2014 solo show by Corgan; he also played Zwan songs on a brief 2017 tour. In his 2019 solo shows, Corgan played "Honestly" and "Endless Summer" on several dates of his European summer tour.
