   About bettie serveert
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.

Fifteen years and seven 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.

Summer 2006 they celebrated their 15th birthday, releasing a new semi-acoustic cd & (their first) dvd " Bare Stripped Naked". It was released on August 7th in the Netherlands, August 28th in Belgium and on September 12th in the USA & Canada.

Between April 6th and 10th 2009 the Betties were in the La Chapelle Recording Studios (Belgium) recording a new cd.

Inmiddels zijn 200 boeken verkocht en de pers is positief over Muziekreis door het Berlijn van toen en nu - van jazzhel tot technohemel.

Duits.de:
‘Ik vind dat Jonker … die klus heel goed geklaard heeft.’
‘Het boek is over de gehele linie - algemene geschiedenis en muziekgeschiedenis - toegankelijk geschreven en bevat talrijke anekdotes.’
‘Alles wat langs moet komen komt dan ook langs: de jazzgekte van de jaren '20, de Schlagers van de jaren '30 en '40, Rock'n Roll, Punk, Techno - alles.’


Festivalinfo.nl:
'... geeft het boek een zeer goed en uitgebreid beeld van de muziekcultuur in Berlijn.'

FONK:
'Al met al is het werkje een leuke alternatieve reisgids voor wie binnenkort naar de Duitse hoofdstad gaat. Kort, krachtig en vlot opgepend.'

Trajectum:
'... is vooral voor Berlijn- én muziekfans een must voor in de trein richting Berlin Hauptbahnhof (waar je na het lezen van de eerste pagina's meteen op wilt stappen).'

Het boek is t/m 31 juli met korting online te bestellen voor EUR 14,-. Daarna geldt de normale winkelprijs van EUR 15,95. En ook in de winkels gaat het hard. Velvet Music moest al bij bestellen, nadat ze uitverkocht waren. Bestel jouw exemplaar nu!

Why? myspace
The addictive antidote for onedimensional hip hop. The ultimate mixture between indie pop, electronics en avanthop!

the Burning hell myspace
Sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, sometimes rock, sometimes roll. Always folk, never anti. Quirky? Maybe. Cute? Never. Combining happy little melodies and depressing Old World fatalism, the music of The Burning Hell is sure to make you smile and want to give up.

We rate this gig 5_stars stars on the scale of awesomeness!

The CHUCKIES - Debut album out now!





Jun 3 2009 9:13 PM

Dear Friends,

The Chuckies is an "acoustic" version of The Chuck Norris Experiment which serves brand new Chuckies songs mixed with classic CNE tracks.

Our swell debut album "The Chuckies" is released on white 12" vinyl by www.myspace.com/tornadoriderecords. The CD version will be released by Nicotine Records this summer!

We will celebrate these two cool releases with a mini-tour in Italy late september, check our MySpace page for updates on this.
Wanna help out? Let us know!

Digital downloads are available everywhere, for example iTunes & Amazon.

We also have a few other cool releases in the works, a 12" E.P, a compilation CD where 7 bands do one deadly sin each... sounds cool? I think so :)

Now we got Europe covered with the exellent Italian labels Tornado Ride Records (LP) and Nicotine Records (CD). Are you interested in releasing our debut album somewhere else, just let us know!

Cheers!
