Towards the end of the evening, Louise confirmed that the band were in good spirits, telling the crowd “So, this great thing happened. Nina and I got over our shit.” She also thanked us for selling out the show in 4 minutes (!), saying this was proof that we were the best New York audience. By the time the time came for their most notable hit “Seether”, the crowed lost its mind, singing back every word, almost overtaking the band. Right before they played it, a guy next to me screamed “here it is, don’t fight it!” He had no reason to be worried, every single body in the Bowery Ballroom lost their shit. – [We All Want Someone to Shout For]

The reactivated original lineup of Veruca Salt played their first NYC shows since the Clinton years last week, hitting Bowery Ballroom on Thursday (7/24, same night as their onetime DGC labelmates Teenage Fanclub were playing River Rocks), and Music Hall of Williamsburg on Friday (7/25). In addition to new songs “It’s Holy” and “Museum of Broken Relationships,” the band delivered ’90s faves like “Seether,” “Number One Blind,” “Shutterbug,” and “Victrola.” Setlist, pics and video of “Number One Blind” from the MHOW show are in this post.

Portland, OR band Battleme opened both NYC shows. Pics from their MHOW set, plus more of Veruca Salt, below…
