Jemina Pearl is totally a Punk Rock Girl. I used to have all these sorts of definitions as to what Punk Really was, and I don't think I ever had it spot on. It's not how hard your music is. It's not how loud or how fast you play. It's not your socio-economic underlying message. It is all about attitude. It's about being a bad ass without having to have the word bad ass stamped on your forehead. And how better to disguise your bad-assedness than by playing 50s or 60s style popish music with darkish lyrics and looking all sweet and innocent.
But she's not innocent. She will beat you up. Always known as an explosive live performer, she's also been known to beat the ever living hell out of audience members who feel like they need to be vocal about the show. She made a guy Bleed in Detroit last year. Oh... If you don't know who Jemina is... she used to front Be your Own Pet before they broke up. Which is sad because they seemed like they were gonna be a pretty good band... personally I loved them. But now she's on her own and doing the same sort of music so I'm ok with that. The new album Break It Up dropped in Oct last year, and it has a few surprise guests like punk legend Iggy Pop and Tv on the Radio's Dave Sitek.
