Ten songs already recorded for Jemina Pearl and the Somethings? That is fast work from this foursome.
In other JP news, check out Rare Form, a new band straight outta’ Brooklyn featuring Jemina Pearl on guitar and claiming a sound reminiscient of Austin heroines Finally Punk. Definitely worth checking out, if only for the fact that the band might be swinging through Austin for SXSW – one can only hope!
Stay tuned for further updates and send us any demoes if you got any Miss Pearl!
Glitter guns, heart-shaped vinyl, unicorn buttons, and pink balaclavas – that’s what you can expect from the wildly imaginative (not to mention intensely bizarre) webstore of the one and only Heartsrevolution. They’ve recently revamped the whole site so grab some goodies while you can. Personally, we’re thinking of nabbing that rare Switchblade EP 12”. Tasty stuff.
While we were lamenting over the loss of one of our favorite bands ever, Be Your Own Pet, after their breakup last August, lead singer Jemina Pearl was hard at work writing and recording her solo debut, according to this article. Her label Ecstatic Peace! confirms these developments and as an even more exciting development Pearl is scheduled to play her first ever non-BYOP show this Saturday, Jan. 17th in Brooklyn. That’s a new press photo up there (brown hair now? you chameleon you) so stay tuned for even more new photos/videos/songs after this weekend. Can’t wait!
In other developments, we’ve somehow managed to stumble across a trailer for an as-of-yet unmade horror film starring none other than Miss Jemina Pearl as the protagonist’s main squeeze. Jemina Pearl, a horror fan? Well if her tattoo of the girl with the axe through her forehead from Friday the 13th (pictured above), the verse in “Ouch” about how “when there’s no more room in hell/The dead will walk the Earth”, “Zombie Graveyard Party”, and animal homicide in “Bog” don’t convince you, the following trailer for The South Will Rise Again will convince you. Check out Pearl near the 1:19 mark.
