| BITCH Confirms Los Angeles Gig Check out legendary girl fronted metal act BITCH on Thursday, October 12th at the Roxy in Los Angeles. According to the All Music Guide: “Although Bitch never headlined any arenas, the Los Angeles-based heavy metal quartet enjoyed a cult following that loved its amusing odes to bondage and S&M. Bitch's main attraction was lead singer Betsy Bitch, who portrayed a dominatrix from hell and sang about the pleasures of whips, chains, handcuffs, gags and other toys. The whole thing was very humorous and tongue-in-cheek, but critics of the controversial band (which ranged from liberal feminists on the left to Christian fundamentalists on the right) failed to see the humor of titles like 'Live For The Whip' and 'Be My Slave'. Originally from New Jersey, Betsy spent much of her adult life in L.A. and was in her 20s when Bitch was formed in 1981. The following year, Bitch singed with Metal Blade and recorded its debut EP, Damnation Alley, followed by Be My Slave (the bands first full-length LP) in 1983. It wasn't until 1987 that Bitch recorded its next album, The Bitch Is Back, and by that time, Bitch (which also included guitarist David Carruth, bassist Ron Cordy and drummer Rob by Settles) had toned down its bondage/S&M references.” | |
