This spring, former Smashing Pumpkins‘ guitarist James Iha made headlines when he rejoined frontman Billy Corgan, with the pair playing songs together from the iconic ’90s band for the first time in years. It was a nostalgic reunion, but for Iha, it was another gig in a very busy 2016. The musician has a batch of new music coming, and while you’ll have to turn on your TV to hear it, today we have an exclusive sneak peek at what’s coming.

This weekend on Lifetime, James Franco is reviving the ’90s campy cult classic, “Mother, May I Sleep With Danger?” In addition to producing, Franco takes a starring role, with Tori Spelling (who also featured in the 1996 original), Leila George, Emily Meade and Nick Eversman joining him in this new take on the vampire love story, which already promises to be one of the TV talking points of the summer. And as you can hear below in the tracks “Leah and Pearl” (featuring Claire Acey) and “The Photo Lab,” Iha’s contributions will be both lush and haunting.
“Mother, May I Sleep With Danger?” debuts on Saturday, June 18th at 8 PM.
