" One Bitch Band"- Betty Dimo

Betty Dimo started making rock music when she was 11 years old, hammering out Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath riffs on a small ukulele and a broken-down acoustic guitar purchased at Sears. She realized she wanted to play rock music forever when she snapped her first B string playing Smells Like Teen Spirit alone in her bedroom late one night. In her teens Betty was introduced to the music of PJ Harvey, Kate Bush, Ani Difranco, Peaches and many other influential female musicians. She started writing her own brand of intense, dark alternative/rock music and began performing live in 2001. Since then she has had the opportunity to perform and record with many bands including Clara Engel, Tom Glenne 5.5, Theresa’s Sound-World, The Good Ideas, Aquamuffin and many more. Betty currently resides in Toronto and plays in local band, Secret Public. Her personal demo recordings are backed by members of Trucks Leaving (Todd Harrison, Dov Tiefenbach, Virginia Dimoglou) and Broadband (Virginia Dimoglou and Louise Simpson). The newest track, Ugly Beautiful, is by her current band, Secret Public, who Betty will be touring with in the very near future. More news and info on that coming soon…stay tuned.

This bio comes from her page on myspace, so I figured why change it! Betty was kind enough to send my favorite track, " Anna Despair". This song really tugs at the heart strings. One thing I try to do when reviewing music is to ask, does it tell a story? It's important to feel the artist mentally and Betty definitely captures my attention. We have to continue supporting great works. So if you want to know more information about Betty Dimo, email her at bettydimo@gmail.com.
