The
betties,
to put it lightly,
rock. They used
to be kind of
grunge pop (whatever that
means); now
they are less
grunge, and arguably less
pop. Their
newest album,
Private Suit, has many more instruments
than their previous albums (lots of
strings, the
occasional
marimba, etc.).
Current members of Bettie Serveert are Carol Van Dyk
(that's how she's listed on the latest album; before, it
was Carol van Dijk), on vocals and (usually rhythm)
guitar; Herman Bunkoeke, bassist; Peter Visser,
lead guitar; and Reinier Veldman, drums. Berend
Dubbe used to play drums, but he left before Private
Suit, over `musical differences'.
Their albums include:
Most people think
Palomine is the best, but
I personally like
Lamprey and
Dust Bunnies.
If you were wondering, the `Bettie' in `Bettie Serveert'
is Bettie Stove. ``Bettie Serveert'' (tr. ``Bettie Serves'') was a television show about tennis. Or something like that.
