We’re recording the next song later this month. Because we all have day-jobs, we have to find time in-between to write new stuff, but Ta! is definitely not a one-off ;)

Thank you! We only did 2 special Palomine shows in 2023 with the original drummer Berend Dubbe to celebrate the re-issue of the Palomine LP by Matador Records. But at our ‘regular’ shows Tom Boy, Kids Allright, Palomine, Balentine and Leg are usually on the setlist

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

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...

Hoi André, vooralsnog heeft Matador Records geen plannen om deze LP opnieuw uit te brengen, maar mocht daar verandering in komen, dan zal dat op onze website worden aangekondigd.
