Bad Betty

About Me

Hello there!
We are Bad Betty, a straight-forward, middle-of-the-leftfield-road, sincere and shallow, contradictive, heartfelt, slightly neurotic, life-affirming, wrist-slitting, heart-on-sleeve-wearing acoustic/rockin' alt. pop duo from Southport on the soggy Northwest coast of merry old England.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 22/03/2006
Band Members: James: Triangle/speak-and-spell/eye-candy

Jules: Kazoo/file-o-fax/mutant

Influences: Joni Mitchell, Damien Rice, KT Tunstall, The Beach Boys, ABBA, Green Day, Muse, Radiohead, Jack Johnson, Daniel Bedingfield, Michelle Branch, navel-gazing, star-gazing, grass-grazing, double-glazing, white zinfandel, and numerous other minor vices
Sounds Like: Two bipolar giraffes on a mission to find themselves through the media of mime and interpretive dance. Also, acoustic melancholia, informed by KT Tunstall, Joni Mitchell, Jack Johnson and Nick Drake. And occasionally rockin' like a mofo, with the melodic punk of Green Day fused with the inner turmoil of Elliott Smith being kicked out of a party held by Radiohead. None of that really made sense, did it? Well neither do we. We're a bit erratic, but that's what you'll come to love about us :)
Record Label: Simulated City Records
Type of Label: Indie
