BETTY X
BIO
Considering herself first and foremost a conceptual artist and performer rather than a singer, Betty X’s sardonic wit and unapologetic temperament is mirrored in both her music and her powerful (and often theatrical) stage performances. Her music has been described as everything from enigmatic and surreal, to aggressive, nihilistic, and brooding — as well as sarcastic and snide. The lyrical content, mostly cleverly disguised social commentary, is metaphoric and often tongue-in-cheek.
With a degree in fine art, Betty got her start in music when she formed the sleazy and provocative art rock band, Salon Betty, in the late-90’s. After several independent releases, the group disbanded and she decided to make her solo debut with the electro-industrial EP release Bad Side of Love in 1999, which was a dramatic departure from the campy and raucous lo-fi sound of Salon Betty.
In 2004, she released a follow-up EP, Dystopia — a violent industrial-metal soundtrack to a living nightmare. Having delved deeper into the abyss with a much heavier sound, Dystopia dealt with apocalyptic themes and human malaise. By this time, Betty had solidified a permanent line-up of musicians and started gaining momentum with a rather significant cult following. Shortly thereafter, she was approached by independent filmmaker Craig Kovach to have several of her songs featured on the soundtrack to his latest horror film, Unearthed, featuring Tom Savini (Dawn of the Dead, From Dusk Til Dawn). During this time she also began working with Martin Atkins (Pigface, Ministry, PIL), providing guest vocals on several side projects, including Pigface and Sheep On Drugs.
Betty X recently released her third solo album, Memoirs of a Pain Junkie, and is currently touring the west coast. |
