Talkin' bout last night

We had a great time at the Tranzac last night. I want to extend special thanks to Magali for organizing the show, and to Gentleman Reg, the Metal Kites and The Youngest for being great.

The Youngest is Amy, solo on her guitar, singing tender songs. She has a great voice.

The Metal Kites are harder to describe, and that is a complement. Mysterious lyrics, haunted guitars, creature harmonies and Magali on bass- if that's not enough to make you listen, you are immune to persuasion.

We are planning to do a show soon at a very special spot in Toronto, so I will post more information about that when we firm up details.

Thanks for reading, and have a happy Thursday.

xoxo

With special guest star Gentleman Reg


Good morning,

Gentleman Reg will be joining Betty on stage tonight at the Tranzac Club for a song. We are very excited about this special treat. The show begins at 8:00, and costs only 6$.

To start your day off on the right foot, here is a cute little Reg photo, taken by Davida Nemeroff.

See you tonight,
xoxo

Our first gig, tomorrow night at the Tranzac Club, Toronto

Betty's first gig is tomorrow night (February 4, 2009) at 8:00 pm. We are playing with Metal Kites (featuring John Tielli, Magali Meagher and Doug Tielli), and The Youngest as part of the "Wombat Wednesdays" series. The show only costs 6 dollars, which means it is recession-appropriate entertainment. Be sure to arrive at the stated time, as the whole do must end by 11:00 pm.

What can you expect from Betty? At the Tranzac you will see and hear Shaun Brodie (guitar/trumpet), Stephanie Markowitz (micro korg), Dave Meslin (bass/percussion) and Maggie MacDonald (mandola/voice) playing five songs on the theme of post-industrial desperation. The songs are short, melodic and can be enjoyed without any sense of ennui. Our intention is to uplift, not to depress. You will not require a hanky.

Holly Andruchuk will be with us in spirit, as she worked on these songs with us, but she is away up North at the moment and can't be at this gig. We love and miss you, Holly!

Hope to see you tomorrow!

xoxo,
Betty
