.... And on drums we have Hercules.

So I've been slack.
Picture it.. 2 Saturdays ago, my buddy Andrew comes over. While we were all eating dinner I asked him what he wanted to do tonight. He said anything is cool, so I said "hey, lets go see Juliet and the Licks". He said "Juliet... As in Lewis.. like Kalifornia, Natural Born Killers?" I said "yep" they were in town playing at the Warehouse. He wanted to know what they sounded like, I told him that I would describe them as a female version of Iggy and the Stooges, with a real Sunset Strip feel. I let him hear a couple of there songs, and he liked them.
So we headed on down to the Warehouse, and went on in. There were about 100-150 people there. I pretended I was making my way to the front of the stage while I waved like I knew someone. We ended up about 3 meters back from the front of the stage, perfect spot. They came on about 20min after we got there. Very, Very high energy. I found that the licks were a very polished band, and well Juliet was a crazy lady. We were both entertained and the sound was good, I think it had to do with the size of the place.
When the end of the show came the crowd did the typical encore thing, and then they took the stage again. For the encore thy played 2 songs, one of there own and then she said "this next song we are going to play goes out to one of our favorite rock gods... Iggy". I turned around and looked at Andrew and he burst out laughing. The played Search and Destroy, and it was a mad house. At the end she jumped in to the crowd, and the stage hands looked like they were going to have a heart attack. The crowd ended up getting he back on stage, and then she jumped in again. This time she was headed straight for Andrew and I right beside of us was a support pole, and she grabbed it and climbed up then hung upside down. She hung there for awhile flailing about, almost kicking me in the head. Then she dropped back on the the crowd and made it back to the stage.
So If you have a chance and they are in your neck of the woods, I say go see them.

New Link..

Well you will all be seeing that I have been wrangled into posting on a joint venture with some buddies of mine. We are very into what we listen to, and some times when we are in the same room together it can get a little tense especially since we each have very strong opinions. So anyway my buddy Sheldon in the Netherlands decided to start it, and I will be posting on it from time to time to thrust my ideas of good bands on to you.

the in from way out

Enjoy.
