Tokyo Licks

It's hard when you're a famous movie star. You have to make movies with people like Brad Pitt, Robert DeNiro, Oliver Stone and stuff. But at least on your days off, you can, like, rock out.
Juliette & the Licks are back at Fuji Rock Festival for the second year in a row, and this year they've climbed up to the Green Stage on Saturday (albeit at 11am).

Ms. Lewis must not be making a lot of movies these days, as her and her Licks have been touring the world all year in support of their latest full-length 'Four On The Floor'. I guess if you make movies, though, you can afford more than your alotted two weeks off whenver you want. Recently, they've toured Europe and England, as well as playing two nights here in Japan this past May (Tokyo and Osaka back-to-back) to sold out audiences.

Don't blame the ticket sales on her film career, either. While the band is straight up standard rock, Juliet & the Licks deliver it with rawk and aplomb. It seems in the days of cooler-than-thou, indie-blog-of-the-week bands, the ones that can honestly strangle power chords and say "Fuck," without coming off cheesy get lost in the hyperlinks.

I saw them last year. I saw them at the Liquid Room in Ebisu. I'll see them with an 8-oz malt breakfast in my hand at the Green Stage on Saturday morning.

I don't care what anyone says, Brad Pitt is still hot for his age - even WITH that beard!
