Photo by Harper Smith The Postelles completed their debut album quite some time ago and were set to release it on Capitol Records way back in 2010. Then, the label pushed the release back...and then back again...and then things seemed rather up in the air. Just as the band was about to headline a sold out Bowery Ballroom show to celebrate their album's release, the label dropped them. It seemed as though their debut would get permanently lost in the shuffle. Luckily, Plus One Music/+1 Records [...]
Jemina Pearl performs with her band at the Beat Kitchen in Chicago, Ill., on Feb. 6, 2010. | Photo Credit: Audrey Leon With one listen to Jemina Pearl 's solo debut album Break It Up , one might wonder if the ex-Be Your Own Pet vocalist had lost her gritty, punk rock edge. Yet, when Pearl climbed onto Beat Kitchen 's stage on Saturday, all doubts were erased. I'll come right out and say it - Jemina Pearl is better live than on [...]

[Michael Hutchence of INXS would have turned 50 years old today. Music is being played at Buzz Bands HQ in his honor. Here's a quick weekend preview:] Tonight: Be Your Own Pet arrived on the scene around 2005 with a screech and snarl, and a rather exhilarating sense that the Nashville quartet was one garage-rock band that might stick around for longer than a chorus. But the band parted ways after two albums in 2008, and now 22-year-old frontwoman Jemina Pearl [pictured] has [...]

Iggy Pop I really love how this sounds like Be Your Own Pet as if they were writing all the songs for Grease . With added Iggy Pop. (via Chipped Hip ) Edward Sharpe [...]
Shows that are happening this week that are worthy of your time, attention and hard-earned dollar bills
Before interviewing ex- Be Your Own Pet frontwoman Jemina Pearl , I was a little bit nervous. After all, the singer has a reputation for occasional violence, and I wasn't sure what her reaction would be when I asked her about the recent incident when she beat up an audience member in Detroit. (Then again, the interview was over the phone, so how bad could her response be?) I needn't have worried, however, since Pearl was easily one of the most open, talkative artists I've ever interviewed. She was easygoing and friendly, and [...]
Jemina Pearl , she of rage, rock and radness, recently swung by the offices of Spin to perform a handful of songs...acoustically. Gone is the riotous frontwoman persona, and we're privy to a sneak peek of her performance in a much tamer tone. When she's not hanging with Iggy , or being lauded as the protege of Thurston Moore, Pearl has been touring the states, keeping track of her journey on her personal blog . While the latest trek has recently come to an end, she made time [...]

And I'm back! I have had just about zero time for anything the past few days, but I'll likely begin to get some more writing time soon so the load isn't entirely upon Andy's back. That being said I didn't have much time to write for today but ...
(click image to enlarge) Last September The Knitting Factory hosted a birthday celebration for the Fender Jazzmaster with performances by Tom Verlaine, Nels Cline, J Mascis and Lee Ranaldo & Thurston Moore.
