--- - |- I have somehow been immune to the charms of Be Your Own Pet, though I realize that I am in the minority there. So the recent news that they'd broken up hit me with the force of, say, finding out that the guy who reads your gas meter has retired. Still, they are no more, and some people are sad, so this (presumably) final video, for Get Awkward's "Becky", will have to serve as their a/...

In a message on their website, BYOP say, "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.

Before Be Your Own Pet made a video for the banned-in-the-USA tune "Becky," we told you the Tennessee punks were calling it quits after their UK tour. It's now after their UK tour. They are no longer. While drying your tears, you can watch footage of Jemina & Co. giving it their all this past Tuesday (8/26) at Dingwalls in London. The guys take off their shirts.

Fucking hell. Just as they were starting to hit their groove too. The posted track is in my mind their best, even after it was banned by Universal in a move that may have led to their break up. Bands breaking up before they can legally drink is never a good sign.

Not long since the break-up that shook our world last year, Be Your Own Pet's lead firethrower Jemina Pearl and drummer/too-boyish-to-be-grimy-garage-rock Johnny Rash are back, in, well, some way, shape or form. A cryptic MySpace page exists for the two...

Like, WTF??? Nashville's noisy youngsters Be Your Own Pet have decided to call it a day. AND their last gig is at Dingwalls. They did play my 2006 gig of the year at the Roadhouse that January, and I do remember playing 'Fire Department' during my time DJing at High Voltage and it being one of the tunes I particularly liked at the time. Never mind eh? MP3 Be Your Own Pet - Fire Department~~
