  • Bio

    So, you think you know Bettie Serveert, huh? The Dutch combo that set the template for '90s indie rock with their classic 1992 debut, Palomine, and its follow-ups, Lamprey (1995), and Dust Bunnies (1997). The energetic outfit that peddled their infectious, hard-edged guitar pop on numerous tours with colleagues like Belly, Dinosaur Jr., and Buffalo Tom. Hmmm. Maybe you want to reconsider just how thoroughly acquainted with Bettie Serveert you are. Because if you approach Attagirl, the band's seventh full-length (and their first for Minty Fresh), with those opinions set in stone, you'll be as shocked as any teenybopper who slapped on Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band back in 1967 expecting to hear "I Want To Hold Your Hand, Pt. 2." Oh, the players are the same. Singer Carol van Dyk, guitarist Peter Visser, and bassist Herman Bunskoeke remain front-and-center. But Attagirl is the work of a band refreshed, one full of new ideas. Put simply, this ain't your old college radio director's Bettie Serveert. Summer 2006 they celebrated their 15th birthday, releasing a new semi-acoustic cd & (their first) dvd " Bare Stripped Naked". 18 years and 8 previous albums (including their 1998 limited edition set of Velvet Underground covers, Venus In Furs) have passed since Bettie Serveert first formed in Amsterdam, yet they continue to evolve. Between April 6th and 10th 2009 the Betties were in the La Chapelle Recording Studios (Belgium) recording a new cd. On Nov 27th 2009 their new Single/EP ‘Deny All’ will be released on iTunes. Their 9th CD, which is called ‘Pharmacy of Love’, will be in the shops in the Benelux on January 11th 2010, followed by a tour in the Netherlands! In the USA the Single/EP ‘Deny All’ and CD ‘Pharmacy of Love’ will be released by Second Motion Records, in Canada they will be released by Sound of Pop. Single/EP release: Jan 26th 2010 (iTunes), CD release: March 23rd 2010.
