	Friens of Betty was noise/folk/punk band band from Chicago that was formed by [[Tim Rutili]] and [[Glynis Johnson]] sometime in the mid '80's. [[Ben Massarella]] was the band's original drummer, but he was later replaced by [[John Rowan]]. The group recorded their only LP, ''Blind Faith II'' for [[Underdog Records]] in [[1988]]. Speaking about the record years later, [[Tim Rutili]] commented "We didn't understand the studio very much. We thought to do in the studio what we did live would be very hard. Much of what we did was noise; we wanted to make more of an album. It was a mistake."[http://www.illinimedia.com/di/archives/1994/February/4/redmeat.html]. After the album, the group added guitarist [[Glenn Girard]] and in [[1990]] they did a brief European tour. After the tour, Friends of Betty would morph into Red Red Meat. [[Glynis Johnson]] recorded one album with Red Red Meat before dying of A.I.D.S. related complications in [[1992]]. Rutili continued with Red Red Meat, and later, Califone. John Rowan changed his name to Blackie Onassis and joined Urge Overkill after leaving Friends of Betty.
