Nina Gordon - Veruca Salt

Veruca Salt

Veruca Salt was formed alongside the friendship of Gordon and Louise Post. Introduced by Gordon's good friend, actress Lili Taylor, Gordon and Post quickly bonded and formed what is now known as Veruca Salt. Originally, the band was an Indigo Girls-inspired acoustic act, but the women soon realized that this wasn't their sound. They quickly enlisted bass player Steve Lack, and eventually Gordon's brother, Jim Shapiro, joined as their drummer, even though he originally was just drumming as a favor to his sister.

Famous quotes containing the word salt:

    In order for the wheel to turn, for life to be lived, impurities are needed, and the impurities of impurities in the soil, too, as is known, if it is to be fertile. Dissension, diversity, the grain of salt and mustard are needed: Fascism does not want them, forbids them, and that’s why you’re not a Fascist; it wants everybody to be the same, and you are not. But immaculate virtue does not exist either, or if it exists it is detestable.
    Primo Levi (1919–1987)
