 Juliette Lewis introduced us to her new band The New Romantiques this week with a couple of gigs — including one in a public library. Lewis had to rock a makeshift stage at the venue in Morecombe, England, squeezed between the Talking Book and DVD sections. And she loved the challenge: “I’ve been thinking about this show for weeks actually. Just the idea of having a rock ‘n’ roll show in a library is very funny. “It’s doing what you’re not supposed to do, making noise in quiet places. I love it. “I’m expecting sheer joy tonight, I’m expecting to turn everyone into 10 year olds, where they wanna rip the books off the shelves, but we’re not going to. They’ll be a lot of hip-shaking, smiles and beating hearts.” Monday’s gig was part of a publicity stunt to promote local libraries in Britain. Normal service was resumed last night in London, when we ran into her in London at The Lexington. |
