Good Girls Play Dress Up, Bad Girls Play Rock 'n Roll
Backseat Betties have been trailblazing across the DC, Maryland and NoVa club scene since their founding by local guitar sensation Suzanne Weber in 2007. Fronted by a duo of gorgeous females, and backed by their trusty boy toys on bass and drums, "The Betties" have shattered all stereotypes of what a good-time party rock-n-roll band looks and sounds like. The sassy duo covers a wide repertoire of party rock favorites from the 70's, 80's, 90's and 00's. The band can slay a crowd with their lush dance pop three part harmonies, fist pumping alternative rock, head banging hair metal anthems and even some beat thumpin' R&B covers. The Backseat Betties have performed across the region.s best known venues and concert series. They can entertain a crowd at an all ages outdoor show as easily as they can keep the dance floor packed late night at a club. The band is available for any and all events where a turbo boost of sultry sass, sexy attitude and great music is needed to kick your party to the next level. Do your club, bar or special occasion a big favor and book them...NOW!!!!

Suzanne Lipa-Weber
Guitarist / Vocalist
Suzanne Weber has been a singer/songwriter/guitarist ever since she was 14. She
taught herself to play with her dad's acoustic guitar, and then one day asked the
local Pittsburgh guitar legend, Dean Zuccaro of "The Zuke Band" for lessons. She
set out to become the most badass, female, lead-guitar player possible. She
patterned her style after Hendrix, Page, and Slash. She has performed in many
bands featuring rock covers and her own originals. She co-formed the Backseat B
etties to showcase local female talent. She shreds on her collection of Gibson
Les Paul Goddess guitars and a Marshall JVM410 Combo.
