At what was intended to be their last gig (at a biker festival) Rockbitch decided to put the wild sex of their home life into the stage act. They went down a storm and decided to continue touring in order to spread their pro-sex message. The most infamous part of their stage act was "The Golden Condom" contest. This involved throwing the so-called golden condom out into the audience. Whoever caught it (man or woman) was taken backstage for sex with one or more band members. The intention of this was to prove the band were not just an act and were ready to stand by their beliefs.
Rockbitch toured widely from the late '90s until 2002, meeting increasing resistance from authorities, particularly English town councils who were constantly banning gigs. Large sections of their audience (particularly in England) tended to consist of drunken lads just wanting to see some nudity, with no interest in the message. However Rockbitch also began to attract a small following of men and women who seemingly understood the band's message and had their lives changed forever. Outside the UK (particularly in Holland) they sometimes played to more sympathetic audiences. However, in Germany they suffered many censorship problems.
Rockbitch became entirely female when original lead guitarist The Beast[Tony Skinner] retired to a management/production role and Babe (Alexandra) moved up from rhythm to lead guitar. Luci previously "Stage Slut" (nude dancer and sexual link between band and audience) then became rhythm guitarist. After the release of their first studio album Motor Driven Bimbo, Rockbitch were sacked by their record company for refusing to drop sex/nudity from their stage act. Because of this the recorded second, more goth-influenced album Psychic Attack, was never released. Rockbitch ceased performing in 2002 after many years of pressure from bodies such as councils, police forces and governments. The members still live together in their French commune. Drummer Jo Heeley died of breast cancer in January 2012.
Nympho
Rockbitch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Does it slowly, moves like treacle
She wants to tempt you, push you further
You know you'll let her get away with murder
She wants your flesh, don't want your babies
she has a taste for married ladies
She's not a nymphomaniac - she's more a pyromaniac
Don't talk of lurve, you'll only bore her
She's like a drug, you'll want to score her
She keeps religion between her tights, now
You fall to worship, get on your knees now
She's not a nymphomaniac - she's more a pyromaniac
She wants you... To turn the world on FIRE
The lyrics to Rockbitch's song "Nympho" are all about a sexually liberated woman who enjoys taking off her clothes in front of others and using her body to tempt and manipulate those around her. The song suggests that she is not interested in traditional relationships or the idea of settling down to have children; rather, she is focused on her own pleasure and on pushing others to indulge their desires. The song uses a variety of metaphors and imagery to convey her power and allure, comparing her movements to treacle and describing her as a drug that you'll want to "score."
The chorus of the song states that this woman is not just a nymphomaniac, but a pyromaniac as well - someone who wants to "turn the world on FIRE." This line suggests that she is not just interested in sex for its own sake, but rather in using it as a means of setting the world ablaze - whether that means challenging societal norms and expectations or simply causing chaos and disruption wherever she goes.
Overall, "Nympho" is an anthem about female sexual empowerment and freedom. It celebrates the idea of women taking control of their own bodies and desires, and encourages listeners to embrace their own sexuality without shame or fear.
