In Dutch we call it “ freubelen” ( = dabble) #bettieserveert #recording #fröbelen #dabble #freubelen

As a birthday present for my friend John Cees, I once wrote a song in ’91 called ‘Wherever you have roamed’. In Nov ’99, his band released the cd single ‘Scram C Baby’s Christmas Carol’, which also contained the song ‘Under the Stars’. The photo was made by Roel Siebrand, when I was 16 years old ;)

Peter and Carol did an interview & photo session with the Dutch Music Traveler Magazine, you can find it in the shops in the Netherlands: musictraveler.nl #bettieserveert #Dutchmusic #Dutchinterview #MusicTravelerMagazine

Today, we vote. In Amsterdam there are 416 locations to choose from, like the beautiful redeveloped Posthoornkerk (church), built around 1860 by the famous architect P.J.H. Cuypers #vote #Netherlands #Amsterdam #Posthoornkerk #church

Dreamaniacs (acoustic), recorded live in 2005 with 2 mics with Peter & me on guitar & our Belgium drummer Gino 'Gigi' Geudens on backing vocals & shaker during an interview at a radio station in Seattle. No click track, no autotune, yes mistakes ;) soundcloud.com/bettieservee...

Of course Peter and I had to visit Sail today, we went there on our bicycles. Being a tourist in my own city is awesome & I love tall ships. Somewhere, in some alternative reality, I’m probably a sailor ;) #Sail #Amsterdam #tallships #staycation

My 1st cell phone, a Pocketline Swing 200, from 1999. Loved the colour. You could only save 10 text messages, so it would keep you in a constant pick-and-choose mode

Peter and Carol did a short Dutch interview with the OOR magazine about their favorite album covers from other bands: oor.nl/news/de-favo...

Peter Visser on staycation at the Paleis op de Dam (Royal Palace) in Amsterdam

Visiting the first retrospective of Artus Quellinus (Artus Quellijn de Oude 1609-1668) at the Paleis op de Dam (Royal Palace) in Amsterdam. He made beautiful marble statues, this one is called 'Jealousy’. Amazing how he was able to carve such details, like that snake pinching a person’s cheek

an hour before the festival gates were openend @ Zomerparkfeest in Venlo on Thursday 7 August, where we played with Bettie Serveert

It was great to see all of you at the Zomerparkfeest festival in Venlo on Thursday!/Het was geweldig om jullie allemaal te zien op het Zomerparkfeest in Venlo afgelopen donderdag! XO, the Betties (photo by Janneke Michels)

My scrapbook clippings from The New Yorker: on 23 July ’94 Bettie Serveert & Juliana Hatfield played at the Central Park SummerStage @ NYC in front of 2000 people in the pouring rain. To those who were there despite the foul weather, you were awesome!

This is how it looks when a Sea Anemone runs away from a Starfish.

Just heard that the Phoenix hotel in San Fran will be closing. Like many bands, the Betties stayed there as well, having a great time. This is the 1st draft of our song ‘Tell Me, Sad’ that I wrote on their hotel stationery back in October ’93 www.sfgate.com/local/articl... #bettieserveert

Throwback Thursday: in '14 we got a request from a 10 year old Bettie Serveert fan asking us if we could teach him how to play 3 of our songs. So that’s what Peter & I did and we added some anecdotes as well. High guitar nerd alert 🎸🤪 www.youtube.com/watch?v=xssc... #bettieserveert #tbt #guitars

Hanging out with our friend Mark Bakker, who did the artwork for our albums ‘Oh, Mayhem!’ & ‘Damaged Good’. There may or may not have been some margaritas involved 🍸 #bettieserveert
