Bianca Butthole, 36, singer of female punk outfit Betty Blowtorch, was killed on December 15th when the car she was riding in spun into oncoming traffic at a speed in excess of 100 miles-per-hour outside of New Orleans.

Formerly the singer and bassist in L.A. punk band Butt Trumpet, she split off with two other members -- guitarists Blare N. Bitch and Sharon Needles -- to form Betty Blowtorch.  They had realeased their debut album, Are You Man Enough?, in June.

But while on tour, Betty Blowtorch disbanded, after Needles and drummer Judy Molish quit.  Butthole and Bitch recruited Jennifer Finch from L7 and a temporary replacement on drums.
