Veruca Salt are a rock band hailing from Chicago, Illinois, United States who formed in 1993. Since their debut they have released five studio albums, along with four EP's, and have become one of the most beloved cult rock acts to every come from the 1990's.

Taking their name from the character in Roald Dahl's children's novel Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, Veruca Salt was formed by singers and guitarists Louise Post and Nina Gordon, who came together in 1993 as songwriting partners. They spent a year and a half working on material together before putting a full band together, recruiting drummer Jim Shapiro and bassist Steve Lack to play their first handful of shows around the Chicago indie rock scene. These shows got them signed to Minty Fresh Records mere months after they started playing live, and after a succesful first single in the form of “Seether/All Hail Me”, they were tapped by Courtney Love's band Hole to open for them on a run of huge US headline shows.

The band's debut album, September 1994's “American Thighs”, would eventually be certified Gold thanks to this exposure, and the band signed a major label deal with Geffen Records as a result. “Seether” was re-released shortly after the band signed with Geffen, and was received huge rotation on MTV and radio stations all over the country. After the release of their second album “Eight Arms To Hold You”, cracks began to appear on the band's surface, beginning with the departure of Shapiro shortly after the album's release. Far more dramatically, Gordon left the band in 1998, her relationship with Post having long since soured. Post continued the band to the point where she was the only remaining original member of the band, taking several different line-ups through the release of two further studio albums and two EP's.

The band ceased activity in 2007, before announcing in 2012 that they were on indefinite hiatus. Ironically enough, the band then announced that the original line up would be getting back together full-time exactly one year and one day after their hiatus announcement. The band released their fifth studio album “Ghost Notes” in 2015, and in all, the band have done the impossible and made it look easy. They've come back together after a decade and a half apart, and are just as vital and exciting as they ever were. With their best days yet to come over two decades after forming, Veruca Salt come highly recommended.

Live reviews

Somewhere in the mid 90's I got turned onto Veruca Salt and thank god I did! What ever happened to girl bands that freaking rock?! Well, after being a fan for several years, the girls finally had a tour date in my city, and I was all over it! Ticket bought within an hour of going on sale, and a good group of friends excited for the show! The show was in a club, average size, and none of us were really sure just how many people would turn out.

Veruca Salt had a lot of air play with the song Seether, and we just assumed that there would be a large crowd, but by show time, I would guess maybe 3500 people were there. Which in my opinion was perfect! I have always been a fan of club shows that are intimate and not overly crowded. So when the band hit the stage, the crowd erupted! No matter what anyone says about Veruca Salt, and its not often that I really do hear anything negative, these girls just know how to rock!

The stage set up was simple, no frills, just a drum kit, a banner and Veruca Salt kicking ass! The light show was great and the sound system was really incredible, somewhat mind numbing even, but isn't that what a rock show is all about!

The set lasted about 90 minutes and when it was over, I was so impressed with how good they sounded live and the energy they put out on stage! All in all a fantastic concert and I feel lucky that I got to see them live!

Veruca Salt’s Louise Post Returns To Chicago For Lincoln Hall Show Thursday Night: ‘Chicago Will Always Feel Like Home To Me’

Editor’s Note: Louise Post’s show Thursday night at Lincoln Hall has been cancelled, along with the rest of her tour, due to illness. Post announced via her Instagram account that rescheduled dates will be soon be announced, and refunds will be available at the point of purchase. LINCOLN PARK – As one half of the driving force behind the band Veruca Salt, Louise Post was at the crest of the alternative music wave that swept Chicago in the ‘90s.

Now nearly thirty years after Veruca Salt’s heyday, Post is returning to where her music career first kicked off, on her first solo tour, with an appearance Thursday night at Lincoln Hall, 2424 N. Lincoln Ave.

Post famously was “fixed up” musically with her Veruca Salt bandmate Nina Gordon by their mutual friend, actor Lily Taylor. The two immediately meshed creatively (and vocally), leading to a radio-ready single, “Seether,” and the band — which also included bassist Steve Lack and Gordon’s brother Jim Shapiro as drummer — quickly signed to major label Geffen and released two records: American Thighs and Eight Arms To Hold You.

By the end of the decade, Gordon left Veruca Salt, and Post kept the band going for several years with different members. She eventually moved to L.A., where she now lives with her husband, musician Tony Parks, and daughter. In 2014, the original lineup of Veruca Salt reformed, and released the well-received album Ghost Notes the following year. Now Post is out on touring with her first full-length solo release, Sleepwalker, with a stop in Chicago this week.

What first drew Post, who grew up in St. Louis and went to Barnard College in New York, to Chicago was not music but theater.

She was visiting here and went to go see The New Criminals, John Cusack’s theater company, which was then offering inventive and improv “punk rock theater, guerilla style and one of the funniest things I’d ever seen,” she said

Post was so intrigued that she moved to Chicago and joined the company for two years, but ultimately decided that for a creative outlet, writing songs would offer her more autonomy than being an actor. “I wanted to be my own director, my own producer, my own creator, and not to be beholden to even a man’s theater company,” she said.

So Post started recording her own songs on a four-track, eventually collaborating with Gordon. At the time, Veruca Salt was just one of a number of bands in the Chicago area benefiting from the city’s vibrant and thriving music scene. Smashing Pumpkins, Urge Overkill and Liz Phair were in the forefront, but Veruca Salt and several other bands were right behind them.

“The theater community I was in was just on fire,” Post said. “It was similar to the music community I soon found myself in,” naming then-local-band-contemporaries like Triple Fast Action, Local H, Loud Lucy and Red Red Meat, as well as Menthol and Hum from Champaign.

“We just loved all those bands around us.”

Post lived in various neighborhoods in the city, particularly Andersonville, before moving to the music hub of Wicker Park for a few years before eventually departing for L.A.

“It was such a fertile time for music, a creative time. All our friends were musicians. We had not a care in the world, except … everything was hinging on every move we made,” she said with a laugh. “Every little step we took felt so important. We had the luxury of being carefree enough to just focus everything we had into our music.”

“I think back to the ‘90s now and it seems all so naïve with everything we’ve all experienced now,” she said. “[But] I think back to that time very fondly. Even just the first snowfall in Chicago, I would always play Marvin Gaye’s ‘What’s Going On’. And I can’t do that in L.A. because we don’t get snow. “

Coming to Chicago this week, she says, is “incredibly meaningful, very much like a homecoming.” Although she played Lincoln Hall previously with Veruca Salt when they were out promoting Ghost Notes, “This whole tour is my first time playing these new songs, this new record, fronting my own band, being out under my own name. Across the board I feel in a way more vulnerable and raw,” she said.

It’s a new experience for Post, “and yet, the same fans are coming,” she said. “I see familiar faces everywhere I go. I’m playing some Veruca Salt classics, songs from every chapter of my career thus far.”

The latest release, Sleepwalker, “started taking shape in a different way,” Post said. She was eager to make another Veruca Salt record after Ghost Notes, but “years were passing, and then Covid hit,” and Post kept writing more songs. The result is a deeper, richer release than what fans are used to hearing from Post: While she maintains much of her catchy ferocity, like on pop-punk single “Guilty,” Sleepwalker also offers tracks that are surprisingly ethereal and orchestral, with piano lines, strings, even trumpet on “Secrets.” “What About,” a devastating ode to a lost friend, combines both of Post’s musical sides, a melodic lament punctuated by the emotional rage she feels because her friend is no longer there.  

Now Post gets to bring these new songs back to where her music career first launched, coming full circle. “I’m just going to be so happy to be back in Chicago,” she said. “I love Chicago. It’s always going to feel like home to me.”

Tickets are still available for Louise Post’s appearance at Lincoln Hall Thursday night. They’re $20 in advance, $25 at the door. 18 and older. The Dumes open. Doors open at 7 p.m., show starts at 8 p.m. For more info, see the Lincoln Hall website .

Nicole Fiorentino Joins Louise Post of Veruca Salt For 2023 Summer Tour

Fiorentino is also featured on Post's new single "Guilty," with a music video that was released today (watch here)

Nicole Fiorentino has made a name for herself by electrifying stages with her tremendous bass skills with the likes of Smashing Pumpkins, Veruca Salt, Bizou, The Cold and Lovely, and many others. Now the bassist has linked up with singer/songwriter Louise Post of Veruca Salt on her solo material that was recently unveiled with her debut album Sleepwalker . 

Now Fiorentino is joining Post on a summer tour that kicks off June 12th in Vancouver, BC and concludes on July 22nd in St. Louis, MO. (see dates below).

Leading up to the tour, Post has released a music video for her single “Guilty,” which also features Fiorentino: 

Louise Post knows a thing or two about what it takes to stay relevant in the music industry: For the past three decades she’s been the co-frontwoman of the celebrated act Veruca Salt whose songs like “Seether” and “Volcano Girls” are still in regular rotation on alternative rock radio. Although Veruca Salt has consistently released music with Post as the sole constant member, during the pandemic she started writing a collection of songs that felt more personal and less like the follow-up to Veruca Salt’s 2015 return-to-form, Ghost Notes . “Out of nowhere, these songs started flowing out of me and almost appeared to be writing themselves” Post explains, adding that many of these melodies came to her during the transitive state between sleep and consciousness known as hypnagogia. “What was making itself so clear to me and just seemed so obvious was that this was my purpose: writing music, writing songs and releasing them.”

During these inspired solitary sessions, Post eventually wrote three albums worth of material and was able to edit it down to this collection of eleven songs with help from producer, engineer and multi-instrumentalist, Matt Drenik (Lions, Battleme). “I’m a social creature and I love the magic of working with others. I also need to be held accountable, and I really believed in Matt and was excited about working with him as an artist and collaborator. He had come to know my songs pretty intimately and quite simply, he believed in me,” she explains. Correspondingly, Post was very active in the recording process, playing guitar, bass and piano, while a cast of other musicians helped her fill out the sound and collectively build the sonic textures that support this expansive collection of music. “There was a lot of collaboration in the studio: Some songs we built from the ground up and for other songs, I had a very clear idea in my head about how it should be produced and Matt helped facilitate that,” she says. In other words, Post was dedicated to her vision of Sleepwalker without feeling constrained by it—and that dichotomy allowed for happy accidents that only reveal themselves upon multiple listens.

From the mesmerizing and moody opener “Queen of the Pirates” to the electronica-inflected pop of “All Messed Up” and the Pixies-esque guitar grandeur of “Guilty,” Sleepwalker is an album that showcases the various aspects of Post’s songwriting while still staying true to the distinctive niche she’s carved out for herself through her work in Veruca Salt. “Of course I love guitar-driven music but that wasn’t important to me when I was making this album,” Post explains. “I was really focused on exploring when it came to the arrangements; on “Secrets”, it hit me one day that ‘this needs a trumpet solo’—and luckily Matt knew a trumpet player who really elevated the song.” (The same trumpetist brought his magic to “Don’t Give Up.”) “The sky was the limit when it came to orchestration on this album,” Post says. She also believes that the influence of her child exposing her to artists like Billie Eilish and Finneas and her own admiration for Post Malone and Imagine Dragons, among others, impacted her songwriting and helped give this collection a more modern sensibility.

However, despite the pop influences on Sleepwalker , there’s a darkness beneath the surface of these songs that gives the album a haunting quality that is far from accidental, it’s closely aligned with Post’s conceptual vision. “I have always identified as a sleepwalker,” Post says of the album’s title. “I slept-walked around my house routinely when I was a child, and even down the street. I believe in hindsight it was me trying to process what was going on in my home with my parents’ troubled marriage. As far as I know, I stopped sleepwalking after the divorce when I was eight, but it has always been a part of me that I feel protective of, a little girl who I feel sad for, “ she continues, adding that sleep has also served as her gateway to creativity. “Sometimes in college, I would have dreams in which I couldn’t distinguish between dream life and reality. I internalize what I see and read and in a very real way. I do not have thick skin and sometimes feel I am far too sensitive for this world. Songwriting helps me process all of it.”

That sensitivity and attention to her inner child is evident on this album, particularly when it comes to songs like the piano-driven “Hollywood Hills,” which Post herself describes as “wistful.” “I think [that song is] looking back lovingly on the past, paying homage to it, while drawing a clear distinction between the past and present,” she adds. “It’s a really bold thing to do at this moment in time for me personally to come out in a solo context after having been known for being in a band for my entire career.”

In that spirit, Post insists that recording and releasing Sleepwalker wasn’t only a creative endeavor but that she also felt a responsibility to add her voice to the common collective and be loud regarding injustices, whether it came to relationships (“All Messed Up”), feminism (“Queen of the Pirates”) or politics (“Killer”). “Throughout it all, I felt like my higher purpose was screaming at me, trying to wake me up from my despair and setting me on a path of creativity,” she says. “I had felt paralyzed and desolate as the pandemic set in and writing these songs helped snap me out of my stupor and reclaim a small part of the solution.”

Post is quick to add that her connection with and the interest generated by the fans she has cultivated over her career was also a motivating force during those difficult moments when self-doubt set in. “If they weren’t there I don’t know that I would have felt so strongly compelled to deliver this album, but with my listeners’ support I can say that I have the humblest opportunity to lift spirits and make connections through words and melodies with the magical medium of music,” Post explains.“The gift is mine and I am really grateful for it.”

Veruca Salt’s Louise Post Shares Debut Solo Album Sleepwalker: Stream

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

The post Veruca Salt’s Louise Post Shares Debut Solo Album Sleepwalker: Stream appeared first on Consequence .

You might know Louise Post as the co-frontwoman of ’90s alt-rock icons Veruca Salt , but she’s now going solo with Sleepwalker,  her debut album under her own name.

After Veruca Salt released their 2015 comeback album  Ghost Notes,  Post went back to writing music as usual. But the songs that began flowing out of her — which she says “almost appeared to be writing themselves” — felt much more personal to her than what she’d done previously with a band.

“I have always identified as a sleepwalker,” Post said of the album’s title in a statement. “I slept-walked around my house routinely when I was a child, and even down the street. I believe in hindsight it was me trying to process what was going on in my home with my parents’ troubled marriage. As far as I know, I stopped sleepwalking after the divorce when I was eight, but it has always been a part of me that I feel protective of, a little girl who I feel sad for.”

Taking influence from her own personal music heroes as well as new favorites she’s found through her daughter (namely Billie Eilish),  Sleepwalker  is a continuation of Post’s legacy for heavy hooks and witty lyrics. You can hear the usual spunk of Veruca Salt on the power-pop ripper “Guilty,” but it doesn’t feel like a way to pander to longtime fans as much as a natural progression of  Post’s songwriting in the 2020s. Stream the album via Apple Music or Spotify below.

Post also has 2023 tour dates lined up, beginning on June 12th in Vancouver and hitting 19 major cities across North America up through the tour’s finale on July 22nd at the Ready Room in St. Louis, Missouri. Find tickets at StubHub , where orders are 100% guaranteed through StubHub’s FanProtect program. StubHub is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

Post teased  Sleepwalker  in an August 2022 interview on  Kyle Meredith With… , during which she also talked about her reaction to Olivia Rodrigo covering the Veruca Salt classic “Seether.”

Olivia Rodrigo Covers Avril Lavigne, Veruca Salt Oldies on Her Debut Tour’s Opening Night

Olivia Rodrigo did the first night of her first tour Tuesday night, and there was some anticipation among fans about what she might do to fill out a headlining set, given that her heralded debut album clocks in at just under 35 minutes. Would the freshly minted star dip into the influences she’s accumulated in her 19 years?

Indeed, she did, adding some seething to go along with all the brutality out there, and some outside complications to augment her album’s sense of traitorousness.

Avril Lavigne ‘s “Complicated” and Veruca Salt’s “Seether” were the two cover songs Rodrigo added to a set that otherwise consisted of the entirety of last year’s “Sour” album.

Rodrigo referred to Lavigne as “the pop-punk princess herself” in introducing her cover of the breakout hit by her forebear. Of course, the two have been associated before this: Lavigne introduced Rodrigo at Variety’s Hitmakers event in December, and then repeated that in ushering the younger singer onto the stage at Sunday night’s Grammys.

Rodrigo’s love for Veruca Salt has been lesser-known, but in Portland, she introduced “Seether” by thanking her mom for introducing her to the band, whose original version of that song was an alternative-rock hit in 1994, nine years before Rodrigo was born.

For anyone who really wants to feel old, though, consider that even the Lavigne song came into the world a year before Rodrigo did.

The Grammys’ newly christened best new artist let some of her other favorite influences be known in her choice of between-set music, after opening act Gracie Abrams left the stage. Journalists on the scene reported that Fiona Apple’s “Criminal,” the Cardigans’ “Lovefool,” the Breeders’ “Cannonball,” the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ “Maps” and Michelle Branch’s “Everywhere” played over the PA prior to the headliner’s appearance — along with one male-fronted song: a three-peat play of One Direction’s “Olivia.”

But apparently another influence is… Abrams? Rodrigo remarked during her set that the song she was listening to in the sad drive she wrote about in “Drivers License” was Abrams’ “I Miss You, I’m Sorry.”

The New York Times and Rolling Stone both had critics flying in for the opening night for the Grammys’ newly christened best new artist.

Rolling Stone’s Brittany Spanos noted that Rodrigo came onto “a set that paid tribute to the singer’s ‘Sour Prom ‘ concert film: Glittery streamers, bleachers, and a pop star in the Gwen Stefani special of plaid pants and a mesh crop top.” Spanos — who teaches the now-legendary class in Taylor Swift at NYU — said that the headliner’s “all-girl band [is] a quintet of powerhouse players who helped ramp up every single song, injecting even the more mid-tempo album cuts with a bit of that ‘Brutal’ and ‘Good 4 U’ grunge-punk rush,” with “Jealousy, Jealousy” cited as being most improved — or at least most pop-punk-ed up — from a more sedate album version. The two covers aside, perhaps the biggest wrinkle on what could have been a straight run-through of the album’s songs was folding “Enough for You” and “1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back” into a medley.

There was no doubt that the show was a short one, and that fans wanted more, even if “more” might have entailed a dip into the “High School Musical” songbook that Rodrigo would likely have been highly disinclined to resort to. “The crowd lingered a bit longer than they needed to, as if she miraculously had more songs in the bank than the 11 originals she had just played (and they had long memorized),” Spanos wrote.

Jon Caramanica’s review in the Times said that in singing her breakout hit “Drivers License” alone at the piano, Rodrigo “took her time with it here, showing off the piercing thickness in her voice, even as seemingly each of the few thousand people in attendance was trying to outsing her. After she finished, she exhaled and smiled and noted, ‘That song won a Grammy, like, two days ago.'”

The Times took note of how Rodrigo is doing her first tour in theaters, all of which sold out instantly when tickets went on sale in what counts as a distinct underplay. “This boisterous, cathartic coming-out-on-the-road party was a manageable-sized affair,” wrote Caramanica. “Every song on ‘Sour’ and a couple of covers, all in just under an hour. Minimal staging, just gym bleachers on either side of the stage and a disco ball looming high overhead. And even though her hits probably could have filled arenas, Rodrigo is starting with more moderate-sized audiences.”

Caramanica wasn’t entirely enamored of Rodrigo’s reading of “Seether,” which he wrote “was the one moment Rodrigo appeared out of her depth, her irate vocals not able to cut through the band’s abandon.” Otherwise, the critic sensed her becoming more comfortable over the course of her first tour opener: “For most of the night, Rodrigo was either sitting or running, but by the end of the show, she looked more at ease. At the first chorus of ‘Deja Vu, she lay atop the piano and sang to the sky. And just as ‘Good 4 U,’ the night’s final song, was about to end, she ran over to the drums and began smashing away on a cymbal, a taste of all the freedoms to come.”

Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour Tour Opening Night Setlist Included Covers of Avril Lavigne & Veruca Salt

Rodrigo performed not one, but two punk pop/rock hits from the '90s and early '00s.

At 19 years old, Olivia Rodrigo has three Grammys , two Hot 100 No. 1s , and as of Tuesday night (April 5), a headlining world tour.

Rodrigo kicked off her highly anticipated Sour tour with a sold-out show in Portland, Ore., and made her fans happy by delivering a setlist that left out none of the 11 tracks on her hit debut album Sour . There was even time for two covers, and so the “Deja Vu” singer filled the space with not one, but two punk pop /rock hits from the ’90s and early ’00s: Avril Lavigne ‘s “Complicated” and Veruca Salt ‘s “Seether.”

According to  Rolling Stone , “Complicated” was the fourth song in the show and came right after Rodrigo’s mega hit “Drivers License.” It’s a fitting follow-up to a ballad themed around driving when you consider Lavigne’s iconic lyric “I like you the way you are, when we’re driving in your car,” which the pop prodigy earnestly performed while sitting on top of a piano.

So Olivia Rodrigo Didn't Sweep at the 2022 Grammys -- But She Didn't Need To

Avril Lavigne

Olivia rodrigo, veruca salt.

After scaling through a few more  Sour  tracks — including a mashup of “Enough for You” and the Taylor Swift-sampling “1 Step Forward 3 Steps Back” — Rodrigo strutted up and down the stage for her rendition of Veruca Salt’s gritty alt-rock banger “Seether.” She reportedly thanked her mom for introducing her to the band, which could have easily influenced her own edgier songs like “Good 4 U.”

The ’90s rockers were excited to see the young pop star cover their hit song, which peaked at No. 8 on Billboard ‘s Alternative Airplay chart in 1994. “ We’ve been belting out #brutal and #good4u in the car nonstop for the past year,” the group tweeted on Monday, along with a clip of the performance. “This made our day, @oliviarodrigo.”

Trending on Billboard

Lavigne also caught wind of the cover of her song. She simply retweeted video of it and captioned her tweet with an orange heart and black heart emojis.

With the Portland show in the books, Rodrigo has 39 more stops to go . She and her opening acts — Gracie Abrams, Holly Humberstone and Baby Queen — will trek through venues across the United States and Europe between now and the first week of July.

These venues are notably all theaters that only seat a few thousand audience members, as opposed to arenas that would be able to fit more of Rodrigo’s millions of listeners. She explained this choice, which saddened some fans who were unable to score tickets, in a December interview with the  Los Angeles Times , saying, “I don’t think I should skip any steps.”

Veruca Salt Announce Syd & Melb Shows

• September 14, 2017

Frontier Touring are thrilled to confirm that alt-rock legends Veruca Salt will perform two special indoor shows in Sydney and Melbourne in March, as well as appearing nationally for the first time ever at A Day On The Green outdoor shows.

Veruca Salt’s signature hit ‘Seether’ remains one of the most-loved rock tunes of the ’90s. Not surprisingly, the band experienced a meteoric rise, doing everything a young band coming of age in the grunge era could hope for – selling more than a million records, touring with alt-rock royalty Hole and PJ Harvey, and winning critical acclaim for albums like American Thighs (named after an AC/DC lyric).

After breaking up in 1998, the original line-up – Nina Gordon, Louise Post, Jim Shapiro and Steve Lack – re-formed in 2013 and were warmly welcomed back on stage. In 2015 they released their fifth studio album Ghost Notes, the first to feature the band’s original line-up since 1997’s Eight Arms To Hold You:

‘As comebacks go, it’s perfect.’ – Magnet

‘Gordon and Post haven’t missed a beat. In fact, they might be better than ever.’ – NOW Magazine

In the live arena, Veruca Salt’s reputation was made through performances marked by energy, passion and verve – qualities that will once again be on display during this tour. Act quickly to secure your tickets!

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.

Astrologers believe that being in a particular zadiac sector of Moscow for a long time, you attract certain energy and events into your life.

Paleontological finds 

Red marble walls of some of the Metro stations hide in themselves petrified inhabitants of ancient seas. Try and find some!

• Every day each car in  Moscow metro passes  more than 600 km, which is the distance from Moscow to St. Petersburg.

Go beneath the streets on this tour of the spectacular, mind-bending Moscow Metro! Be awed by architecture and spot the Propaganda , then hear soviet stories from a local in the know. Finish it all up above ground, looking up to Stalins skyscrapers, and get the inside scoop on whats gone on behind those walls.

Know More about this tour

We begin our Moscow tour beneath the city, exploring the underground palace of the Moscow Metro. From the Square of Revolution station, famous for its huge statues of soviet people (an armed soldier, a farmer with a rooster, a warrior, and more), we’ll move onto some of the most significant stations, where impressive mosaics, columns, and chandeliers will boggle your eyes! Moreover, these stations reveal a big part of soviet reality — the walls depict plenty of Propaganda , with party leaders looking down from images on the walls. Your local guide will share personal stories of his/her family from USSR times, giving you insight into Russia’s complicated past and present. Then we’re coming back up to street level, where we’ll take a break and refuel with some Russian fast food: traditional pancakes, called bliny. And then, stomachs satiated, we are ready to move forward! We’ll take the eco-friendly electric trolleybus, with a route along the Moscow Garden Ring. Used mainly by Russian babushkas(grannies) during the day, the trolleybus hits peak hours in the mornings and evenings, when many locals use it going to and from their days. Our first stop will be the Aviator’s House, one of Stalin’s Seven Sisters, followed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs — and you’ll hear the legends of what has gone on inside the walls. Throughout your Moscow tour, you’ll learn curious facts from soviet history while seeing how Russia exists now, 25 years after the USSR.
