Bij @ongewrdliedjes.bsky.social nemen we afscheid van Palomine van Bettie Serveert. Als nummer 1 van de @snob2000.bsky.social zal ze een volgende editie niet meer terugkeren. Maar haar afscheid verdient zeker een blog. ondergewaardeerdeliedjes.nl/2025/12/31/b...

Thanks to all our Pal-of-Mines who voted for Palomine to be Nr 1 in the Dutch Snob 2000 & 4 other songs that are also on the list! This was a beautiful surprise, we feel honored. Around midnight, there will be a short interview with Carol and Peter on Pinguin Radio 😘 pinguinradio.com/player/pingu...

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!

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

Ta! is our new single, we hope you like it. Thanks to Philip Harder for making this awesome video ❤️ XO, the Betties www.youtube.com/watch?v=obSM... #bettieserveert #Ta! #philipharder #newsingle #Amsterdam

It was great seeing The Hard Quartet play at the Paradiso & meeting Matt Sweeney backstage!

Flashback to 20 June ’92, when Matador Records invited us to play at their CMJ showcase @ the Knitting Factory in NYC. It was our first time in the USA and that show changed our lives forever!

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

The origin of the band name, @bettieserveert

Throwback Thursday: this promo photo was made by Steve Gullick around 1995 in London. We later ‘cut out’ my arm & used it for our 2nd album called ‘Lamprey’, because we thought it looked like ….. a lamprey. Btw, we had just eaten some ice cream, that’s why Peter and I were wiping our mouths.

In 2006 we celebrated our 15th birthday at the Paradiso in Amsterdam, with Gino Geudens on drums, Martijn Blankestijn on keyboard and Berend Dubbe & Jeroen Blankert as guest-drummers. The show was filmed by Fabchannel, who have now released the video on YouTube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7nh...

We’re very happy to announce that on 7 August we’ll be playing @ Zomerparkfeest in Venlo! It’s a free Festival, we hope to see you around 7:45 PM ;) www.zomerparkfeest.nl/programma/be...

Flashback Friday: me in front of the Vintage Vinyl store in St. Louis, where we (Bettie Serveert) did an in-store during a US tour in the summer of 2005. That evening we played at the legendary ‘Duck Room’ aka Blueberry Hill. It’s been 20 years ago, but it feels like yesterday ;)

Happy birthday Carol Van Dyk (@bettieserveert.bsky.social). Get your hopes up high. Read our classic @carolleevandyk.bsky.social Q&A: magnetmagazine.com/2010/05/24/q...

Yeah, it's Carol's B-day! Here's to the best friend in the world! @carolleevandyk.bsky.social @bettieserveert.bsky.social

‘The Show That Never Happened’ - on April 12th ’93 the legendary Daniel Johnston was going to be our special guest @ Trees in Dallas (TX), but during soundcheck we were told he was in a hospital 😔 I just found this poster in an old scrapbook

Letzten Freitag war ich mal wieder in Heerlen im Nieuwe Nor. Dort spielte dutch finest Indierockband of the 1990s, Bettie Serveert, eines ihrer seltenen Konzerte. Sehr schön war es. www.pretty-paracetamol.de/blog/bettie-...

Thanks to all who were there at the Nieuwe Nor in Heerlen! This was the setlist we played on March 7th

#31GreatWomenMusicians 🌇11 Helming such a wondrous craft for the Betties isn't an easy feat considering the raucous energy of fellow bandmates. The ease of which she does makes her a great, as well as the unique vocals & superb musicianship Carol Lee van Dyk My 1st fave youtu.be/BNOJB3vzyCY?...

The Betties playing a Velvet Underground song yesterday @ de Nieuwe Nor in Heerlen

Thanks to all who were there yesterday! Dank aan iedereen die er gister was! X, the Betties

Happy Birthday, Peter! X, the Betties

🎶 We’re heading down the road of self reliance 🎶 This was filmed by the members of Bettie Serveert during a tour in Feb/March ’05. René van Barneveld (aka Tres Manos of Urban Dance Squad) played electric guitar on this song & Martijn Blankestijn played acoustic guitar www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjQ7...

In 2023 Peter and Carol did a podcast interview with their old Matador label mate Matt Sweeney (Chavez, the Hard Quartet). They discussed Marcel Duchamp, Groningen’s much-loved Vera club, and their first-ever trip to New York City www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwhL...

Flashback Friday to 21 Feb 1993, when Bettie Serveert was the opening band on a British tour with Come and Dinosaur Jr
