Iconic nineties rock frontwoman, 56, looks like she’s barely aged a day since smash hit albums and bitter band split
A NINETIES rocker looks like she’s barely aged a day since her hit smash hit albums with her Chicago-based group.
The American singer, now 56, was at the helm of the 1992 band – named after a Roald Dahl character – at the height of its success.
Now Nina Gordon oozes the same fresh-faced beauty as she did back in Veruca Salt’s Nineties heyday.
The alt-rockers found huge fame with debut single, Seether.
It was featured on their 1994 album American Thighs, with their second album, Eight Arms To Hold You, being released just three years later.
Yet by 1998 the original band line-up of Nina, Louise Lightner Post, bassist Steve Lack and drummer Jim Shapiro – Nina’s brother – had been switched up.
Only Louise remained as a handful of new material was released before the band took an indefinite hiatus.
In 2012, after their break from fame, they reunited with the same line-up and released fifth studio album Ghost Notes in 2015.
Back in her time in the band, also known for tracks The Sun, Shutterbug and Spiderman ’79, she opted for a cropped hairstyle skimming her shoulders.
On-stage, band co-founder Nina often donned dark T-Shirts and jeans, as well as more glam attire.
Nina is now known for her lengthy blonde locks and fresh-faced appearance, opting for minimal make-up.
She opts for denim paired with softer coloured fabrics and scarfs as she showcases her solo material for fans, often perched on a stool with her guitar.
After leaving Veruca Salt after the first two albums, she released a couple more solo.
Tonight And The Rest Of My Life hit shelves in 2000 with Bleeding Heart Grafitti following up in 2006.
Away from music, she is a mum of two with husband Jeff Russo.
Bitter split
Veruca Salt’s bad blood came amid a row between Louise and Nina, which saw Nina quit the group.
Previously, Louise told how the pair had mended their friendship over dinner.
In an interview with Double J Louise confessed: “We got together in 2012 and had dinner.
“We were supposed to have coffee, but I wrote her the last minute, ‘I think we deserve dinner’.
“So, we went out to this restaurant in LA and we had so much to say and so much to catch up on.
“There was laughter, there was tears, there were hugs – we were just so excited to be together, to be looking at each other’s faces after all this time.
“We hadn’t seen each other since 1998.
“It had been 14 years since we’d laid eyes on one another.”
It came Louise also oozed an ageless look in her latest social media snap.
