Heavens To Betsy Reunite After 32 Years, Announce US Tour! 🤘
Feminist punk legends Heavens To Betsy, featuring Corin Tucker, are back! After 32 years, they played a secret show in Portland and revealed a fall US tour. Don't miss this iconic reunion!
Get ready, music fans! The iconic feminist punk duo, Heavens To Betsy, has officially reunited after a staggering 32-year hiatus, sending waves of excitement through the indie rock community. Comprising Corin Tucker, famously known for her work with Sleater-Kinney, and her childhood friend Tracy Sawyer, the band marked their return with a surprise, sold-out show in Portland last night.
This electrifying performance was just the beginning, as the duo has now confirmed plans for an extensive US tour this autumn. This marks their first national touring activity since the 1990s, offering a new generation of fans, and long-time enthusiasts, the chance to witness their powerful stage presence live.
Heavens To Betsy originally formed when Corin Tucker was a student at Evergreen in Olympia, Washington. They burst onto the scene with their first show at K Records’ International Pop Underground festival in 1991. Though their initial run was short, they left an indelible mark on the music landscape with their DIY touring and several 7" singles. Their 1994 album, "Calculated," is still celebrated as a feminist punk classic.
The band disbanded in 1994, leading Corin Tucker to co-found the equally influential Sleater-Kinney with Carrie Brownstein. Now, over three decades later, the reunion of Heavens To Betsy is a monumental event for fans of riot grrrl and indie rock history. Their return promises to ignite stages and remind everyone of the raw, elemental power that made them legends.
