History

The group was called initially The Choice, and was made mainly of Sarah Bettens and its brother Gert. In October 1993 leaves The Great Subconscious Club , 1st album of the group produced by Jean Blaute. This album gains a sharp success in Belgium, and the duet is seen proposing a world contract with Epic.

Two American groups asserting the name The Choice, our two Belgians choose K' S Choice . K is the name of the main character of the Procès of Kafka, K not having really freedom of choice in the history (According to another version of the history, the group would have tested all the letters of the alphabet before choosing K which was the letter which sounded best).

In 1995, they record to them 2nd album, Paradise in Me , a disc more Guitare that precede it, always produced by Jean Blaute. Individual the Not year Addict becomes a tube a little everywhere in Europe, it will remain 30 weeks with the classification rock'n'roll of the Billboard, reaching the fifth place. However Epic refuses to leave the album to the the United States judging that there is too much guitar. K' S Choice then seeks in vain another recording company. But following their service noticed with the Pinkpop Festival in Holland, Alanis Morissette, then sails very about it with its album Jagged Little Pill , their request to make the first part of its American round. They accepted without any hesitation; thus the American exit of Paradise In Me was possible.

After a round around the sphere, Cocoon Crash , recorded to Brussels, produced by Gil Norton (Pixies, Foo Fighters, Counting Crows) leaves in November 1997. Bart van der Zeeuw leaves the group and the bass player will be then regularly changed. Cocoon Crash landing mixture styles, passing easily from a rock'n'roll very irritated with an acoustic title accompanied by violoncellos or from a simple dry guitar. This album was followed of Extra Cocoon - All Access , CD in limited edition which contains new vidéos and titles, lives and versions acoustic.

In 1999, the group appears in an episode of Buffy against the vampires, the two faces , playing " Virgin State Off Mind" . In 2000, with Almost Happy directed by the duet Marshall Bird and Steve Bush, they sign a opus calmer than the precedents. After several rounds (in particular the first part of the Indigo Girls, idols of Sarah), they leave Losing You , title of their compilation 10 in 2004. This best-of leaves at the time of the 10 years the group, at the same time as a DVD including/understanding concert of the vidéos group.

After K' S Choice

Since 2002, following a European round, the members of the group decided to put outstanding K' S Choice, and each one are launched in a career solo.

Sarah Bettens thus left her album solo entitled " Scream". Album rock'n'roll, album software, piano, and guitar. Then a second who has just left entitled " Shine" more personal, rock'n'roll and software at the same time. the former muicians of k' S Choice revolve around the former leaders. Eric Grossman contributed to the recording of the albums of sarah and played on scene with it during the two preceding rounds. Gert Bettens left an album under the name of Woodface and product Venus in Flames, which opened the concerts of their round 2002.

In 2007, Gert Bettens confirmed that a new album of K' S Choice was planned for 2009.
