Biography

Pioneering riot-grrrl duo Heavens to Betsy was formed in 1991 by singer/guitarist Corin Tucker and drummer Tracy Sawyer, longtime friends from the Eugene, OR area who began collaborating on music while attendng Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA. A series of compilation appearances preceded the band's Kill Rock Stars single "These Monsters Are Real," followed in 1994 by the LP Calculated; in the wake of the Chainsaw label seven-inch "Direction," Heavens to Betsy disbanded, with Tucker later going on to fame leading Sleater-Kinney.
