In preparation of Saturday’s donewaiting.com concert in Columbus, Chip Midnight interviewed Rockit Girl, one of the bands playing that night. Here’s a small introduction:
Time passed and Rockit Girl seemed to go through a few personnel changes. Then, it was announced that Gina had put Rockit Girl on hold and was joining Veruca Salt following the departure of Suzanne Sokol. Gina became roommates with Louise and the two moved from Chicago to L.A. to breathe some life into Veruca Salt. While there, Louise hooked up with Courtney Love to start a project called Bastard. Gina joined the project soon thereafter but her (and Louise?s) time was shortlived. 10 days of writing and recording with no final results. Love decided to dump Louise and Gina and brought in other musicians who she felt ?fit the image better?.
Undeterred, Louise and Gina got back to work on writing new Veruca Salt material. I?ve had the honor of hearing some of the stuff that was recorded during that time (some of the songs appeared on an EP that Louise put out this past summer) and the songs were among the best that Veruca Salt has ever put out. Unfortunately, things weren?t moving along as quickly as Gina had hoped and she decided to leave the band and return to Chicago to start Rockit Girl back up. (full interview)
