Bettie Serveert

Carol van Dyk, lead singer of Bettie Serveert, performing in 2006.

Bettie Serveert are a Dutch indie-rock band. Their name can be translated to "Bettie Serves", and is taken from a Dutch television program, hosted by Dutch tennis player Bettie Stöve, who made it to the Wimbledon Ladies singles final in 1977.

Comprising vocalist Carol van Dyk (vocals), Peter Visser (guitar), Herman Bunskoeke (bass) and Berend Dubbe (drums) they originally formed in 1986 but split up after only one gig. They reformed in 1990 and released their debut album Palomine in 1992. This met with low-key critical acclaim in the alternative music press.

Three years later, they followed up with Lamprey, an album that saw them gain more praising reviews and aided them in bagging tour slots alongside the likes of Belly, Dinosaur Jr, Buffalo Tom, Superchunk, Come and Jeff Buckley.

After releasing the full-length album Dust Bunnies and the Velvet Underground cover album Venus In Furs drummer Berend Dubbe decided to leave due to artistic differences. He went on to form his own band, Bauer.

Various drummers (among which Reinier Veldman, who played drums in the Bettie Serveert proto-band De Artsen) took the place of Dubbe on the albums that followed (Private Suit, Log 22 and Attagirl). Bettie Serveert continues to tour extensively through Western Europe, Canada and the United States.

Their cover of the Bright Eyes track "Lover I Don't Have to Love" was featured in episode 18 of season 3 of the FOX show The OC.

    Great rant from CNET that talks about the possibility of the AMA eventually calling extensive gaming an addiction. Asks if we will need to "open a new wing in the Betty Ford Clinic" and explains that video games are under attack by a bunch of people who "don't know the difference between a joystick and a crack pipe." Really good, check it out.
