One of my top two or three shows of all time. They played every song I would have wanted to hear and they sounded amazing.

VERUCA SALT IN CONCERT:
'90s alternative sweethearts Veruca Salt remain a fresh force in post-grunge music, reuniting in 2013 and dropping an impressive 10-inch in early 2014. Singers Nina Gordon and Lousie Post sound as cool as ever, and their signature deadpan wit is fully intact on wry tracks like "The Museum of Broken Relationships". The band continues to be a stellar live act, performing fuzzed-out classics like "Seether" and "Victrola" with the perfect blend of sweetness and attitude on their unforgettable tours.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Veruca Salt formed in Chicago in 1993, taking their name from the spoiled rich girl character from Roald Dahl's classic children's book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The band's 1994 debut single "Seether" was a hit, receiving heavy airplay on MTV and landing them on tour with fellow alt-rockers Hole. Their debut album American Thighs established the catchy, guitar-heavy sound that would characterize their music throughout the '90s, and the group landed several more singles on the charts before Nina Gordon -- one half of the band's fronting duo -- left the band to pursue a solo project. A new lineup of the band continued to release material throughout the '00s, but failed to achieve the success of their '90s heyday. After reuniting in 2013 with their original lineup, Veruca Salt once again found themselves on the critical radar thanks to a series of electrifying live shows and a 10-inch release featuring their first new material in eight years.

by DaveLeeG on 7/25/14Theatre of Living Arts - PhiladelphiaVeruca Salt played most of their first two albums plus their two new songs. I thought the band played fairly tightly and you could tell they were really enjoying themselves. There was a lot of banter between Louse, Nina and the crowd which made the show seem more intimate. Of course there was plenty of hair flipping and Louise really worked the stage. Sound quality was OK and the small venue made the show more enjoyable
