Betty Serveert performs "Roadmovies"

Dutch rock band Betty Serveert had a big break in 1992 with their debut album Palomine, but anybody who watches Fox’s teen melodrama “The O.C.” is more likely to recognize them for their recent cover of Bright Eyes’ “Lover I Don’t Have to Love,” which appeared in last season’s finale. These veteran musicians are touring in support of their latest release, Bare, Stripped Naked, a record that is exactly as the title implies: low-key yet still evocative. The CD features primarily spare instrumentation and subdued performances, which should translate well into a live show. Check them out when they come to the Buffalo Icon on Tuesday (Oct. 3) at 7pm. Also playing are Slumber Party and Lakeside Fall.
