Betty Blowtorch is a rock band formed in Hollywood, California, in 1998; the band is known for its energetic and rebellious sound, often blending punk, rock, and metal elements. Fronted by the charismatic and fiery lead vocalist and guitarist, the late Bianca Butthole (real name Bianca Halstead), Betty Blowtorch quickly gained a reputation for their electrifying live performances and unapologetic attitude.

Betty Blowtorch's rise to fame was cut short tragically in 2001 when Bianca Butthole died in a car accident. Her untimely death was a devastating blow to the rock community and left a void that could never be filled. 

The band's lineup also includes bassist Blare N. Bitch, drummer Judy Molish, and guitarist Sharon Needles, each contributing to the band's distinctive sound. Their lyrics often tackled provocative and feminist themes, addressing issues like female empowerment and challenging societal norms.

Rising from the ashes with Mia X. RocknRolla now fronting the band, Betty Blowtorch's rebellious spirit and fearless approach to music continue to inspire new generations of musicians and fans.

All four members joined Keith & Geoff in Thunderlove Studio for a conversation about the past, the present, and the future. 🙂

Look for new music from the band in the upcoming weeks.
