Black Betty and The Bad Habits is a Modern Rock band with an old soul- ala "Janis Joplin meets Garbage". Think the younger generation doesn't know the Blues? Think again...
Black Betty and The Bad Habits are described by prominent New England producers as a “Modern rock band with an old soul” ala Garbage crossed with Janis Joplin. Officially named one of the “Best New and Original Bands” by Berklee College of Music at the 2006 New Music Festival and 2005’s “12 Best Blues Bands in Boston” by the Boston Blues Society, their high energy shows and unique sound have been gaining notoriety amongst the college rock scenes, blues enthusiasts, and rockabilly crowds alike.
This young and rowdy group joined forces in 2004 at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. Drawing on influences including Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Muse, No Doubt and vintage blues, Black Betty and The Bad Habits have forged a new flavor of rock loved by their audiences and demanded by radio listeners! Fronted by the retro pinup model Black Betty, their debut album “Voodoo Man” features electrifying guitars, wailing keys, funky bass, slammin’ drums and can currently be heard on major, college, internet and XM radios stations!
Black Betty delivers aggressive yet graceful vocals, showing that girls can be every bit as strong as guys and even more sexual. When asked what makes her group different, she says,” We’re not trying to copy or sound like anyone else. We might be young, but we’re not playing what’s on MTV- We’re taking the roots of rock and adding a modern edge. We’re taking modern music and adding vintage sounds. Ok, we’re just having fun.”
Their debut album features seven original tunes, and is co-produced by the band and Bob Yen, Jr. of MDI Productions. Bob has been priviledged to work with some of the finest musicians anywhere, such as: Denny Dias (guitarist of Steely Dan), Joe Pet (drummer for The Joe Perry Project (of Aerosmith)), Jack Pearson (guitarist for the Allman Brothers, Jimmy Buffett, Delbert McClinton, etc), Tom Hambridge (drummer for Roy Buchanan, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Lynyrd Skynyrd, George Thoroughgood and Susan Tedeschi), Larry Paxton (Bassist for Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Kenny Rodgers, Roy Orbison, George Jones, etc.), and many others.
Oh, but keep in mind that this ain’t your Grandaddy’s blues- The faint of heart need not apply…
Voodoo Man
