02.18.05· Nina writes from the studio:

hey everyone, i am at sunset sound recording with bob rock. i have not been this happy since, ummm, let me think... the LAST time i worked with bob!! we recorded NINE songs in THREE days, and now we are doing some overdubs. wendy melvoin (!!!) came in yesterday to play guitar and bass on a song we wrote together along with her twin sister susannah, called "suffragette." wendy is the coolest girl ever. anyway, we will be here for a few more days, and then i leave for maui in a week to do vocals. yes, life is good. more soon... xoxo nina

wow, lucky gal.

who is she though?!

She is a founding member of the band Veruca Salt, who had a big alternative hit around 1996 with the song SEETHER. Nina's first solo album 5 years ago showed a more classic pop sound, yet still rocked. Veruca Salt continues on without Nina.

Producer Bob Rock has worked regularly with Metallica, and produced Veruca Salt's most commercial album (it had the MTV hit Volcano Girls on it), and also produced Nina's first solo album.

nina also worked with wendy *and* lisa before and none of the songs made the final cut..

veruca salt was formed while waiting in line for an Eroica show.

the first Veruca Salt album was great, I still don't know the next one with an octopus on the cover.

I've known about this for months and it's driving me crazy waiting for it to come out! Nina, Wendy & Lisa( I love Susannah too) are three of my fav singers so I was very excited when I first heard about this.

Gaaaaawd Damn..... Susanna is pretty. I wish she and P would have stayed together.

All I know of Nina Gordon is a KICKASS acoustic-folk (!!) version of "Straight Outta Compton" which was downloadable from her website. Might still be available. A true gem.
