Time for an early spring clean! Here's a new site for you all to play with. Hope you all enjoy it!
It's been awhile so we thought you deserved an update as to what we're up to. Bee is writing away on new material and so there should be another record in the pipeline soon. The band are busy reworking the live show and adding some more material to the set, including some old material that nobody has heard played by a rock band before. We can't wait to get back out in front of the fans with some of this stuff.
Betty Power have been invited to play for Billboard Magazine in New York. This is an exciting opportunity to play for some of the most influential people in the biz. There is no fixed date yet but we can expect it to be sometime around late spring this year. A big thanks to our friends at billboard for all their support. The band can't wait to get back to the east coast to play for all it's fans there
The BBC has been approached to write a score for an exciting indipendant horror movie called Wood & Glass. The early edits look fantastic, beautifully shot and lit, very atmospheric. It's slated for the festival circuit in the upcoming year, including the Sundance Festival. Keep your eyes open in the upcoming year for more news.
Betty has teamed up with the wonderful people at Chickmedia to shoot a series of music videos for three of the tracks off the up-coming album "My Red Telephone". All three videos will contain a mixture of studio and live footage. The studio work was all done a few weeks ago and now you all have a chance to take part in the live footage at the Aura show on the 26th of April! Bring all the folks you can, it's going to be one hell of a party!
Betty needs your help! We need our friends to post this code anywhere they can! It will show up as a banner (pitured below) that will allow visitors to go add us as a friend on MySpace. The more fans we have there, the more people will hear our music! Go to Betty's Myspace to get the code!
Betty Power's music will appear in the exciting new theatre production of FORK! from the fabulous playwright Courtney Rundell.

We have our first fully public outing since enlisting the services of Mikel on guitar. We play Molly Malone's in West Hollywood at the begining of February, check out the shows page for details.
The band played a private fundraiser yesterday for Musicares and related charities. They shared the bill with an all star band put together by Steve Ferone (Average White Band & others) including stars from The Eagles, , , . Also on the bill will be Betty's good friend Chuck Negron (Three Dog Night). Tickets went for $150 each and the show was sold out so a good pile of cash goes to the good causes!
Seek no longer! BP have their newest member. Mikel will be joining the guys on guitar duties. The band will be taking a break from shows while they get him up to speed! Look for pics coming soon.........
Betty Power are on a Man-Hunt! They are holding auditions for a guitar player to join the band. Watch this space for info!
Betty Power's luck just keeps getting better. They have landed the prime midday slot at the 20th anniversary Musician's Picnic. This long running and prestigious festival raises money for the Musicares charity with proceeds this year specifically to Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. BP share the bill with such luminaries as ..... Furr (The Cramps) and The London Beat.
