Girl rockers breaking into boys' club
Betty Blowtorch to hit Bottleneck hard on Sept.12
By Linda Mendez Jayplay writer
Stand back and get ready for Betty Blowtorch.
These self-proclaimed "mean, foul-mouthed, power-tool-crazy rock-and-roll hussies" are definitely up for a good time, according to the band's Web site, www.bettyblowtorch.com.
The band will be at the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., Wednesday, Sept. 12.
If nothing else, this band is promising. They won L.A. Weekly's 2000 best punk/hardcore band award and were up for the New York Times Magazine's Reader's poll for best rock/hard rock band.
Though the band is true to the message that girls can rock as hard as boys do, they are backed by some big men in the business. Duff McKagan, of Guns and Roses, and Noel Golden produced the band's first EP.
Their debut album, Are You Man Enough?, was produced by Matt Hyde and Foodchain Records.
The CD is sort of a Courtney Love meets Motley Crue mix. It is truly a girl hard-rock album. In general, the lyrics and the guitar riffs are stereotypical of punk rock. The lyrics tend to be repetitive and the guitar is hard and dominant.
Songs like "I Wanna Be Your Sucker" and "No Integrity" are full of hard-core guitar, reminiscent of the AC/DC era. "I Wish You'd Die" and "Part-Time Hooker" are jam-packed with
explicit and energetic lyrics. The girls also let their sense of humor shine in "Frankie" and "I'm Ugly and I Don't Know Why."
A good way to describe these tracks: hard-rock story time. Definite favorites.
One surprising addition to this powerhouse CD is a song featuring Vanilla Ice.
I ice makes a cameo on the third track of the album "Size Queen." He also helped write the song, but don't let his presence fool you: The song and the album are far from the stylings of "Ice Ice Baby."
The band's motto is: "We want to rock, tour and have fun. Anything else is a waste of time." They mean it.
