Betty X, (born Zoe Pierce-Gibson) is an American musician. Her stage name was formed from the combination of names of 1950s American icons Betty Crocker, Bettie Page and Malcolm X. Betty is also the founding member of Satan in High Heels and works with guest musicians to co-write songs. She was the founder and front woman for her previous punk cabaret band Salon Betty. == Musical history == Betty X formed Salon Betty in the mid-1990s. In 1995, she was credited by i-Music (now Artist Direct) as the first female performer to be broadcast live on the Internet. She was also featured in the first Interactive Paper Doll on the Internet, created by Scott Blum, founder of iMusic (Artist Direct) and in association with Real World Studios. Both projects received awards and positive reviews. Betty X's earlier sound with Salon Betty has been described as gothabilly, death lounge, dark cabaret, punk cabaret, new wave, or, most commonly, art rock. Jamie Hook, a reviewer for ''The Stranger'', described the music as, "Neu-Wavo Ranchero" and referred to the fans as "Bettephiles". Salon Betty was the first band to spearhead the dark cabaret movement in Seattle in the early 1990s. After Salon Betty disbanded, she decided to pursue a solo career, releasing ''Bad Side of Love'' in 1999, working with music producer, Vincent Saletto (Genitorturers) in Tampa, Florida. In 2004, several songs on her second solo release, ''Dystopia'', were included on the soundtrack to independent filmmaker Craig Kovach's sci-fi horror film, ''Unearthed''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Betty X」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
