S2-Ep7: Princess Pang & Betty Blowtorch - The Good, The Bad, and The Blowtorch!!

In the first half of the episode, we explore the world of Princess Pang, the short-lived but unforgettable sleaze rock band that burned bright in the late '80s. With a globe-spanning lineup and a frontwoman who could out-scream, out-strut, and out-rock most of the boys in the biz, Princess Pang hit the scene in the late '80s like a hairspray-fueled tornado. Princess Pang brought a raw, infectious energy to the scene—just as the glam metal wave was beginning to crash. 

In the second half of the show, feel the pure DGAF chaos that was Betty Blowtorch—the all-girl band that made Mötley Crüe look like choir boys. We’re talking about the queens behind Are You Man Enough?, the album that that gifted the world with high-octane anthems like “Hell on Wheels,” “I Wanna Be Your Sucker,” and the eternal romantic ballad, “Shut Up and F***.” (If that title didn’t make your mom clutch her pearls, their live shows probably did.)

From Bianca “Butthole” Halstead’s gritty bass lines to their legendary tour van misadventures, Betty Blowtorch didn’t just push boundaries—they set them on fire. We’ll dig into their rise from Butt Trumpet spinoff to full-blown rock cult legends,, their brief but blazing trail through the early 2000s scene, and the tragically short journey of their fearless frontwoman. Betty Blowtorch proved that rock wasn’t just a boys’ club—it was a demolition derby, and they were here to raise hell.
