1. BETTY is an alternative rock group from New York City, The group originated in Washington, D.C. and traces its lineage to a birthday party for Dodie Bowers (the original owner of the 9:30 Club). The band's harmonies and unique lyrics attracted a cult following in the vibrant alternative music scene and among gay/lesbian audiences. A "BETTY Rules" t-shirt, an early marketing item of the band, appears on one of the AIDS quilts.
In the late 1980s the band relocated to NYC. The name of their first album, "Hello, BETTY!" comes from the standard opening for all their appearances. In 1995, the band expanded by adding lead guitar and drums to the initial line-up primarily of vocals with electronic accompaniment.
Betty appeared in every episode of the 1986 HBO Series Encyclopedia, singing educational songs each centered around a particular word, as well as performing the opening and closing theme songs. The members involved were Alyson Palmer/Amy Ziff/Elizabeth Ziff, although they were credited in the show's opening titles as simply "Betty".
In 2003 the group starred in its own off-Broadway show BETTY RULES directed by Rent's Michael Greif. The musical ran for 6 months at the Zipper Theatre. The show has since been performed in Chicago at the Lakeside Theatre and at Theater J in Washington, DC. BETTY has appeared as a regular guest artist on the television show The L Word, for which they provided the theme song.
Line-up:
Elizabeth Ziff (vocals, guitar)

You showed the way, to live our lives, then made the biggest Sacrifice
