Not sure why they were called rockbitch but its possibly due to the fact although originally 50/50 male female they got rid of all the guys bar one due to the testosterone filled bull that came along with them. I think Amanda the bassist and Tony the original lead guitarist (And only guy to remain) coined the name to reflect the idea it was mainly women and women who were going to be themselves no matter what others thought.
The stopped touring due to the authorities in UK first and then others in Europe such as Netherlands and Germany completely banning thier shows. The Cops would wait till the last minute and close down the gig just before they went on so it cost them and the promoter the maximum in cash to break them. Thee band say they cant see why the authorities didnt just let them play without the "Stage show" but the authorities were determined to shut them down altogether. Obviously grown adults are not allowed to make up thier own minds as to what they see. Strip joints and sex shows are fine but you cant combine it with live music it seems. More than anything it was a case of various religious and moral groups (Who would protest at the gigs) stirred it up.
Personally i like some of the music, not all of it but some, and i like thier honesty and openness about both sex, communal living and pagan beliefs. Would i see a show, yea at least once to say i had seen such an outrageous show. Ive seen a couple of documentaries by the BBC and Amsterdam TV on them and alot of what they say (The message behind the music) is very valid even if you dont agree with the method of delivery.
