Early Warning: Get Licked

By Tankboy in Arts & Entertainment on Nov 5, 2007 8:00PM

So we just got word that Juliette and the Licks will be appearing at Reggie's on November 16.

We saw this group, led by Juliette Lewis, at The Note over the summer and admit to loving her live show. Some have opined that Ms. Lewis is too busy ripping off Iggy Pop and PJ Harvey to be very interesting, but we suspect these folks have a) never seen her live and b) have not heard her fun-as-hell Four On The Floor disc.

Now we're not coming out saying Ms. Lewis is re-inventing punk rock. Heck, we're not even saying she's doing much new with it. What we are saying is that she and her backing band crank out an economic blend of spit and groove that we find difficult to deny. And when this mixture is spilling all over the stage and into the audience the effect is intoxicating.

So drope the 'tude and grab some tickets while you still can. Judging by the crowd at The Note, this thing's sure to sell out.

Juliette and the Licks play an all-ages show beginning at 8 p.m. at Reggie's November 16. Tickets are still available.
