Guitar trashing and crowd-surfing's child's play to Rock Bitch: they prefer to fuck audience members or each other on stage. Lifebyte goes on tour with the girl band dedicated to getting its rocks off.

| Never
before have I been on a bus with so many women openly
masturbating. Five at the last count - and we haven't
yet reached Scratchwood.
It should be explained that far from your usual city double decker this is in fact Rock Bitch's tour bus. Rock who? you might reasonably enquire. Allow me to explain. Rock Bitch are a six-piece lesbian heavy metal band whose antics make Aerosmith look as outrageous as S Club 7.
Huge in Europe where their last album sold close on 150,000, they're banned from playing anywhere in their native UK – bar six venues. This is in no small measure due to the fact that their live act commences with the band playing naked and culminates in a huge on-stage girl-on-girl shag fest.
Odd then, that as a live act there's simply no one to touch them. The irony is that if they put some clothes on and ditched the sex antics, they'd probably be massive. They are, if you'll excuse the expression, quite simply one of the tightest bands I've ever seen. Sounding like the Red Hot Chilli Peppers on acid, they whipped a mixed crowd into a frenzy at every one of the six UK gigs we attended.
'Everybody who comes to see us goes away saying that we don't need to be so sexually explicit in our live act,' says lead guitarist Babe. 'But our stage act and the fact that we love having sex with our fans, is merely an extension of our lifestyle. We all live together in a commune in France and we believe in liberating people through free and open sexuality.
'We're not in this to sell records – we're here to promote our alternative lifestyle .'
It's a lifestyle that seems to attract numerous stunning rock chicks, who join them onstage and then nip to their dressing room after for something more personal than an autograph (in the name of journalistic endeavour I stood outside the dressing room and counted them in and out. Eleven in Hastings alone. And that's Hastings, ladies and gents).
The shocks aren't confined to onstage either. Back on board the tour bus an Eddie Stobbart driver on the M1 gives a nonchalant thumbs up as guitarist Luci bares her breasts… and then all but ploughs into the hard shoulder as she pushes her lips against the window. Her face, it should be explained, was about a foot away from the window at the time.
But having spent two days with the band, I'm clearly now battle-hardened by such blatant exhibitionism. Truth be told, watching them playing with themselves is about as shocking as watching them eat a packet of Twiglets. Maybe I'm just rocked out but I'd rather watch them strum on stage.
At home or abroad, catch them where you can. But don't say you haven't been warned.
