Juliette, Austin & Me

It's not some crazy three-way, it's the upcoming SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas! Juliette Lewis has switched it up - no more Licks - now it's the Romantiques. She's going with a darker, more emotional "groove" and believes the project needs a new name. The album, Terra Incognita, produced by Mars Volta wunderkind Omar Lopez, will be released this spring. I hope we get lucky enough to catch her new band! I got to see the Licks back in the day and it was pretty fab. I was lucky enough to met Ms. Lewis after that show in Tucson, Arizona. She was gracious as all get-out, even agreeing to chat with myself and a friend directly after a post-show shower. That sounds kinky, but it was quite tame! We waited patiently in the "green room" while she rinsed down from her rockin' stage romp. She was beautiful, even clad in a t-shirt and shorts. Frankly, the thought that she'd slept with Brad Pitt was running through my mind non-stop as we hung out. I have to say, I felt a little closer to him that day...
