C’mon, baby Jalapeños, you can do it!

If you like, you can listen to 4 live recordings of Bettie shows in Chicago, taped by Aadam Jacobs in ’93, ’97 and 2003. We still have fond memories of all those venues! archive.org/details/aada...

Peter Visser & me backstage @ the big record fair in the Brabanthallen in Den Bosch last Saturday

I have not shut up about this band since hearing them for the first time and I am absolutely thrilled that this is a thing! 4 Bettie Serveert shows from 1993-2003. Huge bucket list band for me. I've never managed to see them live, so I'll be devouring these!

Peter & Carol played at the big record fair in the Brabanthallen in Den Bosch on Sat April 11th

4 days ago I had never heard of this French-Canadian band called Angine de Poitrine before. 30 seconds in: "this is silly” 18 minutes in: "this is really amazing” www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ssi...

We (Bettie Serveert) still have a lot of fond memories of playing at this awesome club and also at the 7th St. Entry

Today, we vote. In Amsterdam there are almost 400 locations to choose from, for instance, the beautiful redeveloped Posthoornkerk (church), built around 1860 by the famous architect P.J.H. Cuypers who also designed the Central Station & the Rijksmuseum. #Amsterdam #stemmen #vote #Posthoornkerk

Last week in Sint-Niklaas (Belgium), we had one of the fanciest dressing rooms I’ve ever seen 😎

33 years ago today we supported Come & Dinosaur Jr @ Barrowlands in Glasgow. During their shows, we stood at the side of the stage watching them, as they did while we were playing. It was an awesome night! (btw, I found this ticket online, if this belongs to you, please let me know?)

On his 60th B-day (10 Dec ’25), J Mascis released a newish song “Say It On” with cover art by his son, Rory. It was originally recorded during the 2017 sessions for Elastic Days. I really like his 'groovy' guitar lick youtu.be/BDj-l8SzidY?...

Getting ready for our upcoming Bettie show on March 4th in Belgium. Our guitar player Peter Visser had to do an ‘operation’ on the output jack of my Rickenbacker. It’s all spankin’ new again 🎸

Hi there, dear Pal ’O Mines! We’ve just released a new song called ‘Evil Side’. It was again recorded & mixed by Jesse Beuker and the Betties, we hope you’ll like it! XO, the Betties youtu.be/_8hZXQ0Kc-U

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
