Courtney Love made a live appearance in LA on Saturday accompanied by Smashing Pumpkin Billy Corgan and collaborator Linda Perry. The three performed a set at the Gay and Lesbian Community Centre benefit at the Henry Fonda Theatre in the city, and Love played brand new songs 'Sunset Marquis' and 'Pacific Coast Highway'.
Speaking to NME.com, the singer said: "Billy and me have never been onstage before and it was intense. His guitar parts are haunting and beautiful. It was me, him, Linda and 2000 lesbians and the songs are dramatically different from the demos. It was fucking historic, Billy played 'Can't Find My Way Home' by Blind Faith and Linda played 'Beautiful' and 'What's Going On'. It was such a cool living room vibe. The songs are smashing now. I wouldn't fuck around here, this is the best shit I've done since 'Live Through This' period. It's hard to sell six-minute new songs and you could have heard a pin drop although apparently there was speculation about whether I was wearing underwear. Look I've been wearing short skirts onstage forever and obviously I wear panties. Christ!"
As previously reported, Love is currently working on a second solo album, provisionally entitled 'How Dirty Girls Get Clean'.
