I went to the Be Your Own Pet show at the Knitting Factory last Wednesday. Boy did I feel old watching teenagers play punk rock music alongside even more teenagers. Photo now. More later.
Here’s one of Jemina reading a note someone threw onto the stage. Turned out it was someone’s phone number, to which she said, “Too bad I don’t care!,” as she tossed it back into the audience. Ouuch!

mmm, she looks a bit like that tennis player who’s not very good but looks amazing….
Advertises watches and that, Anna thingy.
Not heard any of their tunes mind.
She looks like Anna Kournikova.
did you hear that live thing they did at Dundee for Zane Lowe? the crowd wasn’t very much into them, it sounded really awkward. Jemina wasn’t taking their crap either, though. at one point she said something along the lines of “I thought Scottish crowds were supposed to be great, I guess I was wrong”
I love them! The only concert I felt really old recently at was Fall Out Boy. Saw BYOP in Glasgow-Scottish crowds def. liked them then!
They’re highschool kids from Nashville, TN…a couple of them have parents in the music biz. They come from nice middle class homes and honors school programs.
They make their own records, too. check out their handmade CD’s at Nashville’s Infinity Cat label. they are pretty damn good.
‘They’re highschool kids from Nashville, TN…a couple of them have parents in the music biz. They come from nice middle class homes and honors school programs’
What a surpise, a la Strokes.
Shit, I liked them until I found out they came from nice middle class homes. They must suck. I’ll throw away my EP now.
She guested on Steve Lamacq’s Roundtable, on BBC 6 last week and was funny and sassy as hell. There’s probably a link on the site somewhere.
Actually, I take it back, I love their middle class roots
