Mmmm, Bettie Serveert ... "Kid's Alright" and "Palomine" introduced me to the band in the early '90's, and both my father and I fell totally in love with the Palomine album as a whole, mainly because of Carol van Dyk's haunting vocals and Peter Visser's **searing** guitars ... I kept up with the band for a while after that - Lamprey was a decent album with a handful of real good songs, but by Dust Bunnies, my interest waned.
Jesus, I STILL lust for Carol van Dyk ...Anyways, from there, the band put together a Velvet Underground covers album and a few more full-lengths, but I didn't bother with them. However, a few months before I moved from Detroit to Colorado, Bettie Serveert cruised through the Motor City on a tour date. Without much else to do, my old man and I went down to take in the show and were mesmerized. Not only did the band lay out intensely winding versions of older songs like "Brain-Tag," but I found myself getting REALLY into the newer material as well. I wound up picking up a copy of the American re-release of Attagirl before leaving the show, and while it's not the Bettie Serveert I knew and loved in my formative early teenage years, it's still a goddamned great record. The highlight of that concert AND this album, though, is quite possibly one of the sauciest, slinking-around-in-dark-corners-of-the-night cover songs I've ever heard. Enjoy Bettie Serveert covering Conor Oberst and the Bright Eyes crew with "Lover I Don't Have to Love."
