After a four-year absence, Veruca Salt will return to North American stages this fall with new music and the promise of a new full-length effort due next summer. The Louise Post-fronted act will embark on an 11-day tour Oct. 10 in Phoenix, with an EP, "Lords of Sounds and Lesser Things," to be sold only at shows and through its official Web site.
The Chicago-based rock act -- guitarist/singer Post, guitarist Stephen Fitzpatrick and drummer James Madla -- has been recording with producer Rae Dileo.
The band scored a 1994 modern rock hit with "Seether," and after three albums on Minty Fresh and Outpost saw the 1998 exit of guitarist/singer Nina Gordon, bassist Steve Lack and drummer Jim Shapiro. The new lineup released 2000's "Resolver" through Beyond Music. Post also participated in "Forever In Our Hearts," a single recorded December 2004 to raise disaster relief funds for the tsunami that devastated South Asia.
