The members were Tracy Sawyer on drums and Corin Tucker on bass guitar and vocals. Their first recording, a split single on the independent label K Records with Bratmobile, put them center stage in the Riot Grrl movement of the early 1990s. The band recorded three singles, produced one LP/CD, Calculated, and contributed to many compilations while they were together. These recordings are now sought after by collectors. One of these compilations, Free To Fight, also included a song contributed by the band Excuse 17, of which Carrie Brownstein was a member. The two women began to play together. When Heavens to Betsy disbanded in the mid 1990s, Corin Tucker founded Sleater-Kinney with Carrie Brownstein.
