Bettie Serveert
Jackson and I went to see Bettie Serveert last night at the Bowery Ballroom.
I can still hear Carol van Dijk singing "untie the knot" in their epic song Leg which they closed their set with last night.
The show was great, but I most enjoyed their "old songs" as Carol called them.
The wrapped with Kids Allright which rocked the house.
My ears were ringing as we walked out into the snow at 2am.
Great show by a great band.
whoaaa. I had no idea they were still around. i was big into musack in collegio when they were indie-big. now that I am getting back into musack, after having my head in code for a few years, i am starting to rediscover some stuff. i'll be checking bettie serveert out again.
i appreciate that you blog about music as much as bizness.
i think you've inspired me to do the same, especially since local musicians have started giving me discs at the monthly mixers I've been planning.

Like the blog and your taste in music. Another very cool up-and-coming indie rocker is Reginar Spektor. Check her out at: reginaspektor.com - she has a gig at the Bowery at the end of the month that will be very much worth checking out.

Palomine is still one of my favorites. Hard to believe that was 10 years ago. Good to hear that they're still great live!

I missed the Betties this trip through. I've seen them three or four times and they are really a great band. Leg, Palomine, Da Diva, Kids' Alright and about a half-dozen oif their cuts are some of the best rock ever. Keep spreading the word.
