Where have all of the women rockers gone? It seems a simple enough question, and one that shouldn’t ever have to be asked, as the past half-century of rock is filled with phenomenal examples of why the presence of women in the rock arena is one of the most important elements of music. Without icons like Chrissie Hynde , Patti Smith , Joan Jett , Poly Styrene , and so many others, music would have evolved far differently, and the current music scene shows many dangerous trends due to its lack of women of [...]
My mid-90s self is moshing right now, as the VERUCA SALT have announced they're reforming. The one-month old news comes via a Facebook post .. for now let's just say this: hatchets buried, axes exhumed Legit overexcited about this, but American Things minimalism please.
For centuries, the feline has represented so many things to the world: a symbol of nobility, a muse to the arts...a hip dance partner to Paula Abdul , to name but a few. Is there anything pussycats can’t do? Yet even as they rule the world (and YouTube), most of them would like us to think they’re happy just to chill on the divan with a ball of catnip and a pack of Realistic Fur Mice. Leave it to music video historians like us to dig up the truth about cats: they secretly want to be pop [...]
In de jaren negentig van vorige eeuw waren er ineens vrouwelijke rockbands. Hole is het beste voorbeeld, en in hun kielzog kregen ook een paar andere bands een klein succesje. Een van die bands is Veruca Salt. Hoewel de band toch ook twee mannen op drums en bas had. Maar omdat de aandacht meestal toch vooral naar de leadgitarist en zanger gaat, zijn ze in mijn hoofd terechtgekomen als 'vrouwenrockband'. Volcano Girls is de enige hit van Veruca Salt. Het staat op het tweede album Eight Arms To Hold You, een verwijzing naar het Beatlesalbum 'Help'. Ook in [...]
Posted in videos The fine fellas over at the Dig Me Out podcast noted in a Facebook post that Veruca Salt's second album - and the last featuring Nina Gordon - 'Eight Arms to Hold You' was released on this day in 1997. After releasing the Brad Wood-produced 'American Thighs' in 1994, Veruca Salt embraced its inner arena rock dreams and hired Bob Rock (Metallica, AC/DC) to produce their sophomore album. The money was well spent as 'Eight Arms to Hold You' is [...]

I really loved music in the mid-late 90s eh? Today's song comes from 1997, and it's the lead single from Veruca Salt's second album Eight Arms To Hold You. I've got very little chatter to go with this, I just really, really like Volcano Girls. Shouty girls, yay! Veruca Salt - Volcano Girls

In 2007, Hole gay drummer Patty Schemel went up to her friend P. David Ebersole with a bunch of Hi8 tapes she shot over her years with the band. Amazing footage of Hole members Eric Erlandson, Melissa Auf der Maur, late bassist Kristen Pfaff and Courtney Love, her husband Kurt Cobain and daughter Frances Bean. [...]
Veruca Salt - Forsynthia (via actualtruestories ) #90stalgia
Writing this post as I'm sat at Wharf Chambers. They're playing Bikini Kill right now and I'm thinking, how apt. Anyway, Desert Sharks - I FUCKING LOVE THESE GUYS. If you like The Donnas and Veruca Salt you'll dig em. Bad ass garage rock with pop sensibilities. Ok, maybe not as bad ass as The Coathangers and not quite Sleater Kinney if I'm honest but they still fucking rock. A 4 track demo ep simply entitled Recordings is up for grabs via their bandcamp. It's basically the kinda songs we'd play at Suck My Left One! I wanna go and [...]
Celebrating the career of Johnny Rotten on the Sex Pistols' frontman's 56th birthday.
Massive blast from the past but we've had building work going on all day and this B-side taken from their 1995 single release 'Number One Blind' on Rough Trade is an apt end to our Monday so like, share. It's also featured on the superb Tank Girl OST from the same year.
Following up the last post about Cardinal, Kevin Tihista's definitely an artist in the same genre - orchestral pop music that music geeks freak out over. Tihista got his start as the bass player in Capitol Records band Triple Fast Action . After that band broke up, Tihista lent his talents to Veruca Salt (post-Nina Gordon) though he didn't last long before embarking (much to my surprise ... didn't know he had it in him) on a solo career that spawned 5 full length recordings between 2001 and 2005. For somebody so [...]
