Nashville's True Garage-Punkers: A Tribute to Be Your Own PET (2003-2008)


one lady and three gentlemen with a raw music taste. they're mean, they're rotten, they're bad-asses. they're BE YOUR OWN PET; the symbol of heartless teenage rebellions. but those days are history, they're tasting adulthood now. what is left are these pictures and lyrics, which could live up their adolescence memories...

here are the criminal faces
here are the criminal faces part 2

"i'm an independent motherfucker, and i'm here to take your money. i'm wicked, rad, and i'm here, to steal away your virginity" - (bunk trunk skunk)

"i heard you talked a lot of shit about me, to your new bestfriend. but that doesn't matter anyway, 'cause i got a brand new friend, okay. me and her we'll kick your ass, we'll wait with a knife after class" - (becky)

"now, i'm glad you've got a broken heart, 'cause i've been trying to fix mine from the start" - (you're a waste)
 
"i want a kitty cat, my boyfriend wants a dog. we got into fight, i drowned him in the bog. i'm sorry, i'm not sorry" - (bog)

jemina pearl abegg, the witchy vocalist

"we will come to your town, burn your house down, turn the sky brown, oh because we're on two wheels, baby!" - (bicycle bicycle, you are my bicycle)

jamin orrall, probably the coolest drummer ever
jonas stein, the heart throb guitarist
nathan vasquez, the fro-licious bass player

"we are adventuring, we are adventurers, and in the heart of nepal we ran into trouble. and he's caught sight of our elegant rubble, and they ransacked our camp without saying goodnight. okay, so yeah it's cool 'cause we're like adventurers. we are adventuring, we are adventurers. we've been to every place anywhere in the world" - (adventure)

riot
body shake
fun
losing self
chemistry
sweat

"you take a twelve-year-old, and break his arms twice. we can guarantee you that it won't be very nice" - (let's get sandy)

"drinking coca-cola all night, ooh baby wanna get in a fight. breaking glass bottles is oh so fun, let's go and kill someone" - (black hole)


the line-up since some period in 2006, john eatherley (second from left) replaced the almighty orrall

when ending those missable winning days on august 1st 2008, the pets left a goodbye message on their official website:

"To all of our fans, we are sad to bring you the news that our upcoming shows in the UK are going to be our last as a band. We thank you for all your love and support these past few years. It's been a blast, but the time has come for the four of us to go our separate ways"
