Bitchin’ Metal at the Whisky

Bitchin’ Metal at the Whisky: ’80s metal band Bitch, lead by the inimitable Betsy Bitch, have changed since forming in 1980. The lineup has shifted, with only Betsy remaining from the original band. Of course, the scene on the Sunset Strip isn’t what it once was. And the group’s name, once seen as subversive, is now a symbol of reclaimed power for women — they’re taking the word back.“Being a woman in an all-boys club definitely got us more attention, so there are no regrets there,” Betsy told us in 2018. “It was definitely a positive thing and it got us noticed. The fact is that we could back it up with the songs and the talent and remain on the same level. It worked out well, and it got us the attention we needed at first to get people’s attention.”(Incidentally, there’s another artist with the same name, a singer/songwriter who was formerly part of a duo called Bitch & Animal).At the Whisky on Thursday night, the band Bitch was in fin...
