Juliette & the Licks on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson tonight
 
Juliette Lewis is also a guest.

One can assume they'll be doing something from Four On The Floor from last year, but that they won't be doing "Death of a Whore," or "Bullshit King."
I kind of hope it's not "Hot Kiss." Anything else would be okay, although bands seem to rarely get the right sound at these late night talk show appearances. SNL (not a talk show, but it is a late night show) seems to invariably get the sound right though.

Rats, they did "Hot Kiss." It sounded good though. Seems they have a video for it now and the album is finally getting a U.S. release. Their first release, Speaking My Language, from 2005 is a better album.

All the songs I heard (the tv-aired singles) were kinda "meh" in my opinion, not much impressing... are the albums worth a listen (=are there "better" songs in them)?
I remember watching "Strange Days", with Juliette covering pj harvey songs, and before that that scene where she sing in prison in NBK, and thinking "uh, she's a peculiar voice, should record something", then after all theese years she actually has a band and all that, which is pretty cool, but I didn't appreciate much the "sound" she went after, I kinda hoped for something less rocking and more sick.... / end.

"the licks"

I like the live pro-shot concert dvd I have the most, but the first album is not too bad and some of it is rather good considering what else is out there these days.

nicfit 10.02.2007 03:14 AM

Butttt, are the albums "generally" rock or I'm in for some nice surprises listening to the whole things? (ha ha , looks like I need an incentive to investigate further). Like, that Noisettes album isn't anything special, but a couple songs have quite nice "twists", if you understand what I mean...
"the licks" is not sick enough, adam.

Hell, I thought it might be worth checking out for a few minutes on television tonight.

You people generally like The Stooges, right? Well, their music is somewhere in-between The Stooges (without the absolute urgency) and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts (without the occasionally excellent hit songwriting).

If you'll scroll back at the group, nicfit, I shared the albums. This, combined with a thread at the board awhile back in which Pauly also wrote he had been listening to them, comprises the total extent of my posting about the band.

Ok, sorry, I was just asking for an opinion, that's all, I thought that since you opened this thread you could be, well, "happily inclined" (that's not the right expression...) to further share your thoughts about them. I didn't want to be/sound annoying.
Searching the forum for "juliette" didn't help.
I was not in the group back then (i joined like 8 months later) and the up expired, but I can get them in other ways, no prob.

jl&tl sound like the stooges?! hahahahaha.

it's like gritty pop punk, nicfit, as you said, nothing particularly special.

I never wrote that they sounded just like The Stooges. Juliette obviously draws vocal, stage, and lyrical inspiration from Iggy, a good place to get it, and, as I wrote, the band's music is also akin to the poppier punk rock of a woman-fronted band like Joan Jett & the Blackhearts.

It's an off-the-cuff general description.

Look, I knew that starting this thread would only expose me to ridicule, yet I started it anyway. Thanks for bearing that out in true douchebag fashion.

juliette and the licks. good honest rock n roll. what the fuck is wrong with that! i liked the albums a lot. as for they are like the stooges, only in the rock n roll sense.........

Everyneurotic 10.02.2007 10:37 AM

i don't know, it's kinda like joan jett but meh, i probably had a lot of expectations for this band but still; i don't like comparisons that are underserving.
