R.I.P. Juliette and The Licks

wenn1970564jules.jpg

Juliette Lewis has ditched The Licks for good!

Mz. Lewis has bid adieu to her former backing band (and sound), taking on an entirely new challenge with the just-formed Juliette and The Romantiques!

J and The Romantiques will be releasing Terra Incognita this spring, produced by Omar Lopez of The Mars Volta.

Mz. Lewis explained the band swap as a necessity. "Because this album is so sonically different than anything I've done before and captures many flavors of my emotional life and voice, it needed an entirely new name. Terra Incognita means unknown territory - and that's where I wanted to go musically. The guitars are more wild and atmospheric. The groove is dark and deep and allow for a lot of sonic contrasts."

Sounds progressive!

Jules and Co. plan to make their debut at the SXSW Festival in Austin, TX in a few weeks!

Can't wait to see it, Juliette!!

      This woman scares me!



    2. 2

      hey perez you should make a "Good Guys Gone Bad" calendar featuring Jason Mesnick, Michael Phelps, and Chris Brown I'm sure the females and homos would love it



    3. 3

      She is so scary. Must be the scientology.



    4. 4

      Man is she ugly. It just shows you how the ugliest actresses were child actors — they could only get in show biz when they were lil and a bit cute and then they grew up and grew ugly. Kirsten Dunst, Helen Hunt and Juliette Lewis.

    7. 7

      I'll stick to The Heartless Bastards!!!!



    8. 8

      she bring energy to the stage when i saw her and the licks at a Muse concert.

      eh, whatever.

      she kick ass either way.



    9. 9

      She's always been so disgusting to look at. In her younger days, circa Cape Fear, she looked like Snoopy with a long brunette wig. Now… crack-o-licious meets fug



    10. 10

      you should post about someone whose really rockandroll, agyness deyn.



    11. 11

      NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :(



    12. 12

      she rocks~ Love the new music !



    13. 13

      Actually if you read the J&TL myspace blog she does Not say it's "FOR GOOD" Perez, It says FOR Now!
      Here's a quote, "The (mighty and lovely) Licks are no more. It is the end of our run… For now."
      For Now! Meaning I might just yet get a chance to see Juliette performing My favorite Licks song still!!
      Don't make me lose all hope now Perez lol!
      J&TL KICK ASS!! LOVE YOU Juliette!!
      Some of the new songs are up, big change from the licks! Sounds great!

      she can do whatever she wants. Ive never heard her sing but she KILLED it in Natural Born Killers. That's how you play a bad ass. You wish, Angie.



    15. 15

      Juliette is so cool!
      Re: aj – Agree! :)



    16. 16

      yeah. too bad juliette and the romantiques will probably suck just as much as juliette and the licks did.



    17. 17

      So many actors and actresses attempt to do the singing thing and Juliette Lewis nailed it! One of the best live shows I've ever seen. She is so not ugly! She definately has an interesting lok to her and to me, I think that's beautiful. I look forward to hearing more of the new stuff as Juliette has an amazing stage presence!



    18. 18

      I freaking LOVE her. I'm so sad about the Licks, though. :( Her band kicked some serious a$$. Looking forward to the new sound.



    19. 19

      Isnt she getting kind of old to be doing this?



    20. 20

      big whoop.



    21. 21

      I don't think so!I just downloaded her hot photos from mixedmate.c0m- it is a hot community for black and white people to meet for sharing.



    22. 22

      She is so damn ugly! look at her! she has sideburns! I don't know how this woman ever got a break in hollywood???? She looks like trailer park trash.



    23. 23

      I'll miss Juliette and The Licks! They came out here to play with Unwritten Law and +44, and were awesome (They shat all over headliners +44). And now, my band t-shirt is irrelevant.

      That said, the new project sounds pretty awesome, especially as it's produced by Omar Lopez! I hope she loses none of her Licks aggression!

      Will definitely be keeping an ear out!



    24. 24

      I love her…such a nice lady…said hi to her in a bathroom…she's got a cool vibe and eclectic voice that will over-ride working with Mars Volta



    25. 25

      pudgy greasy pig, mario, why don't you have a sample? Oh cause you have no taste in cloths and music– so it must be good



    26. 26

      she's a great actress, but not a very flattering pic



    27. 27

      what a suck up you are
      porco boy



    28. 28

      man omar must need some crucial money to help the psycho.



    29. 29

      I saw her and the Licks live and they were awesome!
      She's a SCIENTOLOGIST though… LAME!



    30. 30

      she looks like a HOT MESS in this picture. WOO!



    31. 31

      good for her….maybe she'll pull it off

    32. 32

      Too old, too ugly, too pretentious. White trash.



    33. 33

      She needs to make a coolab with Joaquin Phoenix… that will rock!



    34. 34

      Such a clean looking gal !



    35. 35

      Hideous and absolutely no vocal talent. She actually seems repulsive to me. I think the album is going to suck ass no matter what you call the songs or your band. I'd say get a real job but you'd probably suck at that too.



    36. 36

      is it just me or does anyone else think of linda blair in the exorcist.



    37. 37

      is it just me or does anyone else think of linda blair in the exorcist.



    38. 38

      This woman banged both Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt and she's not hot. damn she is my idol. LoL



    39. 39

      The Mars Volta kick ass



    40. 40

      The Licks are a good group but only without her screaming.She is a screamer not a singer.She should go back to acting which she was very good at.Tries way to hard to be rock chick cool Joplineque, and fails utterly.



    41. 41

      Re: picklejuice

      I would say more David Lee Roth than Linda Blair.

    46. 46

      not enough scientologists to sell out your gigs jule?



    47. 47
