Heavens to Betsy
Encyclopedia : H : HE : HEA : Heavens to Betsy
Heavens to Betsy was a punk rock band from Olympia, Washington.
The members were Tracy Sawyer on drums and Corin Tucker on bass guitar and vocals. Their first recording, a split single on the independent label K Records with Bratmobile, put them center stage in the Riot Grrl movement of the early 1990s. The band recorded three singles, produced one LP/CD, Calculated, and contributed to many compilations while they were together. These recordings are now sought after by collectors. One of these compilations, Free To Fight, also included a song contributed by the band Excuse 17, of which Carrie Brownstein was a member. Corin and Carrie began to play together, and when Heavens to Betsy disbanded in the mid 1990s, the two women founded Sleater-Kinney.
