Since the relaunch of PE Live earlier this year, we’ve had so many talented local musicians come in and perform and sit down and talk with me about their music. (Don’t forget to sign up for our brand new weekly PE Live newsletter where you can get the videos delivered straight to your inbox!)


This week we reached our 20th artist–the incredibly talented ladies of The Jezebelles. With members from all over the Inland Empire, the group started performing cover songs three years ago. As the group evolved, they started writing their own original music.

Now the group has a brand new EP, which was funded by fans, and produced by Alien Ant Farm’s Mike Cosgrove.

Watch the video below to hear The Jezebelles talk about the genesis of the group and keep watching to hear two of those original songs.

The Jezebelles have two upcoming shows–one in Riverside on Aug. 23 and one at the House of Blues in Anaheim on Aug. 25. Get more details on the shows over at the iGuide.

Here’s a look at some behind the scenes photos from the PE Live shoot.

The Jezebelles are the coolest.

The all-girl rock choir, which is based in Riverside although the members hail from all over the Inland Empire, just released their debut three-song EP, which just went up on iTunes. The release was fan-funded.

Alien Ant Farm drummer Mike Cosgrove produced the EP and recorded it at his studio in Riverside.

The group, which has covered a number of songs in a variety of genres, wrote three original songs for the release, including “Boys!” which they’re shown performing in the video below.

I first got to know the members of The Jezebelles last year, when I interviewed them for a story I was working on. Since then, they played the 2012 Hootenanny, recorded the EP, are about to film a music video and just added some new members, too.

Here’s the video I shot back in the day.

The Jezebelles will have their next performance in Riverside at Mission Tobacco Lounge on Aug. 23 with Za, Smear and Crystal and the Cutthroats.
