The Cycle Sluts from Hell were an American heavy metal band, active from 1986 to 1992. The band was made up of four women, singing under the stage names Queen Vixen, She-Fire of Ice, Honey One Percenter, and Venus Penis Crusher, with a group of backing musicians including Pete Lisa, Christopher Moffett, Tom Von Doom, Fernando Rosario, Brian Smith, Scott Duboys, Bobby Gustafson, and Eddie Coen. They released one self-titled album in 1991.
The band's music was primarily written by Pete Lisa, with contributions from Daniel Rey, Mark Durado, Christopher Moffett, and Tom Von Doom. They performed around the New York City area in the late 1980s, playing shows with Jane's Addiction at The Cat Club, Danzig at The Old Studio 54, and Joey Ramone at the Ritz and the Palladium.
The band's self-titled debut album was their only release. Their best known track is "I Wish You Were a Beer", written by Honey One Percenter and Tom Von Doom. The track featured in the MTV show Beavis and Butthead, receiving a positive response.[1] The band's most high-profile performance was a European tour with Motörhead in the early nineties.
