Juliette and The Licks | More News Items...
Forget the constant threat of World War III, imminent environmental collapse or global terrorism - you know that the planet is askew when the band of the girl from What's Eating Gilbert Grape makes an album that rocks harder than a swarm of burly bikers at a wrestling match. Four On The Floor is that album, and Juliette And The Licks is that band. “This is rock in its most undiluted form…and it makes Lewis something of a wondrous anomaly” – NME After establishing herself as a successful actress (Natural Born Killers, Cape Fear), Juliette Lewis formed the Licks in 2002, recalling the likes of Blondie and Joan Jett, the resulting sound was a sonically varnished brand of melodic punk replete with Lewis's purring vocal delivery and lyrics that bash porn, pharmaceutical companies and rotten lovers…”it’s Rock ‘N’ Roll that comes from the heart by way of the crotch” – Kerrang! Coming out to Australia as a presenter at the 2008 MTV Awards in April, Juliette Lewis will be bringing ‘The Licks’ along for the ride. She's played a cornucopia of high-energy and striking heroines for Hollywood, but none of her silver screen characters can prepare audiences for the over-the-top ferociousness Juliette Lewis unleashes when she fronts her band. Add to this demented brilliance the same elemental energy and disregard for convention she’s done her whole life, coupled with concentrated bursts of undisputed attitude and adrenaline, and there you have Juliette and The Licks.
