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 even gave me some funny (and slightly graphic) quotes about an argument with a Vancouver heckler back in 2007.
Read the interview in BeatRoute. Also check out the song “I Hate People,” a catchy tune that sounds like it could have been lifted out of 1950s teen musical. Of course, the twist is that it’s about how much she hates everyone, and punk legend Iggy Pop contributes backup vocals to the chorus.
