The band highlights that its politics are as important to them as their upbeat, infectious, at times poignant, at times hilarious stage show, in using "music to fight for a world that is fair for all, and equality for all." BETTY has performed on stage and recorded in-the-studio with many of their musical heroes, including Sia, The B-52's, Roberta Flack, Bonnie Raitt, James Brown, Laurie Anderson, LeTigre, Cyndi Lauper and many more. Their music can be heard in films and on television, including the global hit theme song to The L Word. The list of their artistic collaborations includes their upcoming performance in artist Darren Waterston's reimagining of Whistler's Peacock Room, Filthy Lucre, which they presented at Mass MOCA, the Smithsonian, and next at London's V&A museum in 2020. That recording, as well as their original off-Broadway show soundtrack, BETTY Rules, directed by Michael Greif (RENT, Dear Evan Hanson) and the band's nine other albums are available everywhere on iTunes and cdBaby.
BETTY: Girlband is the band's fascinating podcast about life in underground pop music from the Reagan 80's in bubbling Washington DC to New York's 90's music and art scene, to now.

In addition to playing music, BETTY created a non-profit with the help of equal rights leader, Gloria Steinem, called The BETTY Effect (thebettyeffect.org) that enables them to help promote self-advocacy through music and performance to women and girls, as well as LGBTQ people worldwide. They tour as Arts and Culture Envoys with the US State Department "whenever Trump is looking the other way."
