SxSW 2008 Live: Be Your Own Pet

13th March 2008 | by Aidan Williamson

If Karen O is America's classy yet sexy vocalist, then Be Your Own Pet's Jemina Pearl Abegg is America's demented cheerleader complete with reckless abandon a-go-go.

With the energy levels of Speedy Gonzalez it was almost as entertaining watching the various photographers trying to keep up than it was to watch the unbridled fury of this primally abrasive four-piece.

Kitted out in a skirt short enough for an underwear model, Abegg kept the action fast and furious, throwing herself around the stage and rolling around the floor like someone who's just realised that their back is on fire.

Despite being Emo's by name, there was barely a mopey face to be seen throughout this venue after a few minutes of this adrenaline charged garage rock 'n' roll.
