Any fans of Veruca Salt?

shutterbug performed on SNL

Saw them a couple times in the 90's. I was thoroughly impressed with their live shows.

Absolutely love that band. 'Ghost Notes' is one of the all time great comeback albums. They didn't miss a beat.

Really wish they'd come out with some more new stuff soon.

I had a burned CD of theirs in high school. I dug the band. The problem was my buddy who gave me the burned CD told me their name was Veruca Salt. But what I heard was “ Group Assault”. So I wrote Group Assault on the CD and spent a few months calling them Group Assault. Which was eventually discovered by my circle of hooligans and put me at the butt of numerous jokes. Still comes up from time to time. Good times..

I really regret not saving my concert tickets.

I really enjoyed them back in the day. They were excellent representatives of the early-to-mid-90's "we rock and also every single one of our songs is written in a minor key" movement. Preferably D minor, as it is the saddest of all keys.

love Veruca Salt, but Nina Gordon covering Straight Outta Compton is the greatest thing ever

I just remembered -- they opened for HOLE at the Rendon Inn.


it was Saturday 10/29 ... L7 and the Melvins the night before at Tips (was hanging with the lead singer of L7 here and there back in the day)

90's Nina Gordon

I saw them open for Bush at the Cajundome in the 90's. They had alot of energy.
