MTV News | Natural Born Rocker Juliette Lewis Speaks Licks' Language (808 words)
Juliette Lewis may be best known for her acting ("Natural Born Killers," "Old School"), but with the recent release of her band's first full-length album, she's auditioning for a different role entirely.
Much of Juliette and the Licks' musical growth is due to the two years of live touring that they did before putting the full album together, and the band's rapid recording process feeds into that spirit of spontaneity.
Lewis describes the band's live shows as filled with heavy guitar and a blend of songs from the EP and the full album — even incorporating some ballads in the middle.
Juliette Lewis (344 words)
Daughter of actor Geoffrey Lewis, Juliette's heart was always set on acting.
Lewis' career took a downspin from a lack of starring roles in major films and it seemed she had dropped out of Hollywood radar, but she has begun to work her way back with supporting roles in major motion pictures such as Old School (2003), Cold Creek Manor (2003) and Starsky & Hutch (2004).
A member of the Church of Scientology, Lewis' hobbies include collecting antique clothing and walking around with a tape recorder documenting everyday moments in an effort to capture reality for future use in her film career.
