'Het Moest Dit Keer Erg Hard' dinsdag, 12 januari 2010 ‘Het moest dit keer erg hard’ Het zou het hardste album worden dat ze ooit gemaakt hadden, zeiden Peter Visser en Carol van Dyk van Bettie Serveert de af- gelopen maanden keer op keer als hun nieuwe plaat ‘Pharma- cy of Love’ ter sprake kwam.

  • Bettie Serveert Bio 2016
    BETTIE SERVEERT BIO 2016 The story begins when Canadian-born (Vancouver), Netherlands-reared Carol van Dyk was hired as the live-sound mixer for the celebrated underground band ‘de Artsen’ (the Doctors). Herman Bunskoeke and Peter Visser were band members, Berend Dubbe was their roadie and the musical side project in which all four friends participated became Bettie Serveert. (Since you ask, the name means "Bettie to serve" after Dutch tennis player Bettie Stöve, who lost the Wimbledon Ladies Final in 1977). After a false start in 1986, when the band called itself ‘Betty Serveert’ with a ‘y’, they dissolved after only one gig. The band reformed in 1991 in Amsterdam as Bettie Serveert and quickly caught the ear of Matador Records, Brinkman Records and 4AD's Guernica label for whom they kindly agreed to record their first album 'Palomine', which was released late 1992/early 1993. Two years later, in January 1995, the band recorded their second album 'Lamprey', which was hailed by Melody Maker as the most tangled, desolate, real life guitar sound of the year. They toured extensively with the likes of Belly, Dinosaur Jr, Buffalo Tom, Superchunk, Come and Jeff Buckley. 1997 saw the return of Bettie Serveert in fine form with the release of the long awaited third album 'Dust Bunnies'. It was the first time the Betties benefited from the studio guidance of producer Bryce Goggin (Pavement, Lemonheads). It was the first Bettie Serveert disc that was recorded entirely within the United States, at Bearsville studio in scenic Woodstock, New York. In 1998 the group released a live album of Velvet Underground cover songs 'Bettie Serveert plays Venus In Furs and other Velvet Underground songs'.

    You‘ll Never Walk Alone? Een onderzoek naar relaties tussen Artiesten en [PIAS] Renée de Kanter You’ll Never Walk Alone? Een onderzoek naar relaties tussen artiesten en [PIAS] Masterthesis Media & Journalistiek Faculteit Historische en Kunstwetenschappen Erasmus Universiteit Renée de Kanter Studentnummer 294793 [email protected] Thesisbegeleider: Dr. E. Hitters Tweede lezer: Dr. T. Krijnen 2 Voorwoord In september 2009 begon ik aan de master Media en Journalistiek, en daarmee kwam de masterthesis-waar-ik- al-vier-jaar-tegenop-zag ineens akelig dichtbij. Nu moest er ineens een half jaar op één onderwerp gefocust worden, en dat nog eens helemaal zelfstandig ook. Dat betekent discipline. Een eng woord. Als grootverbruiker van muziek leek het mij wel interessant om in die richting ook onderzoek te gaan doen, dan zou het me aan motivatie in ieder geval niet ontbreken. Op goed geluk schreef ik in oktober een brief naar Play It Again Sam. Toen ik langs mocht komen op het kantoor in Hilversum voor een gesprek was ik verkocht: wat een leuke sfeer, wat een leuke mensen, en wat een leuke business! Ik kon in januari al beginnen, maar aangezien de hele onderneming een eigenwijs plan van mij was geweest, had het wat voeten in aarde tot de universiteit ook goedkeuring gaf. Het feest kon beginnen… Nu het einde van het afstudeertraject in zicht is, besef ik dat het eigenlijk best soepel verlopen is met die scriptie van mij. Het ‘zwarte gat’ was ver te zoeken, en ik vond het onderzoeken veel leuker dan dat ik van tevoren had gedacht. Dat ligt natuurlijk niet alleen aan mij, maar vooral aan iedereen die mij op een of andere wijze geholpen heeft om het onderzoek te doen: PIAS, waar het heel fijn werken was, en waarvan ik de kans kreeg om artiesten te interviewen die ik op eigen houtje nooit had kunnen benaderen, en waardoor het onderzoek net iets waardevoller is geworden in mijn ogen.
