BETTY BLOWTORCH 
 Lightening the mood some, Betty Blowtorch is an all-woman punk rock band that is more like this month’s UARB than anyone I have talked about so far. Allmusic described the band like this: “Strutting with the guts of Joan Jett and harsh vocals of L7, this hard rock four-piece is truly individualistic and unafraid to be disruptive. Bianca Butthole (bass/vocals), Sharon Needles (guitar), Blare N. Bitch (guitar), and Judy Molish (drums) follow Hollywood’s heavy metal/glam rock scene with a passion for sexed-up anthems of fantasy, and have been honing their nasty rock ways since the late ’90s.” Everyone but Molish had previously been in a band called Butt Trumpet – with similar sensibility though not all-female – along with vocalist Thom Bone and drummer Jerry Geronimo. Betty Blowtorch was formed in 1998, and while not exactly a pose, their brand of sex-obsessed punk is clearly performed with a wink at the audience – their first single, “Size Queen” has guest musician Vanilla Ice (“Ice Ice Baby”) rapping about the size of his member – and also has surprising professionalism. After their full-length album, Are You Man Enough? came out in 2001, Betty Blowtorch began touring with the hard rock/psychobilly band Nashville Pussy. * * *  As to the lyrics in the Betty Blowtorch song that I have, “Shut up and F--k” – taken from the same compilation album, Dr. Wu Records Compilation Vol. 2-000 (2000) as “We Came, We Saw, We Drank” by past UARB Mötochrist – I have nothing to add. Baby, baby standing at the bar You saw me wanking my bass guitar Baby, baby get on your knees Cause I want you to worship me I don’t care who you are I just want to f--k in your car Shut up and f--k Shut up and f--k Some people might call me a slut What can I say, I wanna bust a nut I strap on my biggest dildo It makes me hot when you’re screaming “no” I don’t wanna know your name I just wanna f--kin get laid Shut up and f--k Shut up and f--k I don’t want conversation I just want penis penetration I don’t want you to be mine I just wanna sixty-nine Shut up and f--k Shut up and f--k Shut up and f--k Shut up and f--k Whatcha gonna do tonight?
