BETTIE SERVEERT – PALOMINE – CD SINGLE AUSTRIA 1993 – BRINKMAN BRCD 009

Bettie Serveert are a Dutch indie-rock band. Their name translates to "Bettie Serves," and is taken from a Dutch television program, hosted by Dutch tennis player Betty Stöve, who made it to the Wimbledon Ladies singles final in 1977. Composed of Carol van Dyk (vocals and guitar), 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.[citation needed] 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. Palomine was the first album by the Dutch indie band Bettie Serveert. In Europe, Palomine was released in 1992 on Guernica, a short-lived subsidiary of 4AD Records; in the United States, it was released on Matador Records. (A re-released version came out on Brinkman Records. "Brain-tag" is a cd-only bonus track. Initial copies of the vinyl release included a bonus seven-inch single, common to Guernica LP releases.
