"Seether" is a single by American alternative rock band Veruca Salt. It was backed with "All Hail Me". In 1994, the song was No. 3 in British Radio One DJ John Peel's Festive Fifty. The song appeared in the film Young Adult and the TV shows Hindsight and Halt and Catch Fire.
Original video
The video features Nina Gordon, Louise Post, Jim Shapiro, and bassist Steve Lack playing the song in front of the iconic shimmering red Randolph Street Gallery building when it was located at 756 N. Milwaukee Avenue in Chicago.
The indoor shots of the band with cats roaming about and in acclimating cages were taken at Tree House Humane Society at their former location, 1212 W Carmen Street, Chicago. Tree House is a stray cat shelter and adoption center founded in 1971 and operating from that address until 2017.
