Formed in 2004 at Berklee College of Music in Boston, BLACK BETTY AND THE BAD HABITS deliver a show for your eyes and ears. Fronted by the retro pinup model Black Betty, they have forged a sound loved by their audiences that is a volatile mix of fiery rock, dangerous funk, and a dash of blues. "It's apparent that even if someone told 23-year-old Jenny Langer that it's tough getting by as a woman, she didn't even hear it. Langer, who is more widely known as Black Betty, is a Boston girl intent on re-defining what is is to be a sexy pinup and musician, as well as what it means to be a young woman..." write The HJ Revival Project. The 2006 debut album "Voodoo Man", co-produced by the band and Bob Yen (Susan Tedeschi, Bo Diddley, Joe Perry, The Cars, The Mighty Mighty BossTones), introduced this new group and highlights the band's versatility. Featured as "Artist of the Month" in May 2006 on PIXY 103- Cape Cod's Rock Station, their tunes quickly made them one of the most radio requested new artists in New England. "Our band is comprised of players from all over the world who came together in their love for this sound," says Black Betty. "At a show, you'll see Burlesque performers, bikers, college kids, blues afficienados, metal heads, hipsters...it's just awesome that our music and live show speaks to all of them."

Dude, if you don't know about this band, then you're not living life!
They're AWESOME! One of the best bands out there. If you don't know them, you're missing out!
Nobody rocks it like Black Betty!
Three words: She is amazing.
Best voice in the universe
Not only the hottest, but the best vocalist I have ever heard!!! Black Betty Rocks!!!
Black Betty & the Bad habits just rock!
'Cause they ROCK
She has one of the best voices in Boston and commands attention on the stage. She does a mean Zeppelin too.
Black Betty carries her soul in her voice. Her voice can cut streight through you. If I didn't know better I would say she sold her soul to the devil at the crossroads in Mississippi to get that talent.
I saw this band at TT The Bear's a couple years ago and have been following them ever since. Betty's stage presence is amazing, and her voice is incredible. I don't know how she sings like that for so long but it's great!!!
I saw this little lady at a blues jam a couple months ago and was blown away. She's got some pipes on her!!!
Any girl who can sing Led Zeppelin and rock it has my vote!
Awesome range kick ass stage show!!
Gotta love a strong, rocker chick!
Watching her makes me think of that singer from Heart. awesome voice
I love this band, and Black Betty is an amazing performer! I could listen to "Vigilante" forever and never get tired of her amazing voice.
Hard rock with soul, and heart! My favorite band of the day!
Black Betty's voice is incredible!!! Totally inspiring. The tonality of her voice reaches deep into your soul and fills it with ecstasy.
God, she's so sexy! Black Betty can sing anything to me she wants
Black Betty and The Bad Habits rocks!!! I love Black Betty's voice and the tunes are always hot.
Love Black Betty and the Bad Habits! We don't get music like them anymore--they are a real diamond in the rough!
Black Betty and The Bad Habits are the best because they have the soul, sound, and smoothness of what the music world is missing. Black Betty is one bad bitch!!! In a good way!!!!
Jenny is my hero.
Multi-talented, soulful & awesome!
This is a very talented band with a very cool sense of style, the lead singer (Betty) has a very strong voice, I think she's great.
Great vocalist with incredible range, interesting original songs, can sing
ANYTHING!
Great vocals, great original songs
Betty is a tremendously talented and enigmatic (not to mention sexy!!!) lead singer and the band has oodles of musical mojo!!!! Go see this band and have a blast!!!!
The lead female vocalist is classic and confident...great break from the rest!
Black Betty rocks our world!
They rock so hard my face melted
Black Betty and her voice sends chills down your spine. Black Betty and the Bad Habits are an extremely tight, well-practiced band that bring a host of emotions and reactions to their songs.
Good Luck.
Very dynamic vocalist
good stuff
Amazing vocal range and "tone dexterity".
Black Betty's vocals are the best I've heard in a long time. She'll make it to the top in no time. She also oozes sexuality that's a force to be reckoned with.
A damn fine woman, with a damn fine voice, and a damn fine band. Hot Damn!
I work on all of BootZ's guitars - good people and good musicians - these guys wail!
These are my peeps! Yeah!
Reminds me of Shirley Manson, with some soul - freakin' sweet!
Soulful mix of rock and blues vocals, plus - not another blonde teenage diva with no talent! This girl (and band) RULES!
They play with a lot of soul, energy, and funk. One of the most exciting bands to see live. Also, great record.
Nobody, NOBODY brings the rock like these fools
