Juliette and the Sin are not a band that could be placed into the category of ‘music geeks’. With split symbols and a self-painted Fender Squire guitar (not the guitar of choice of any self-respecting music geek) which changes colour depending on Juliette’s mood, Juliette and the Sin fit the description of a messy, confused band. And yet, it all works! Even the ripped symbols and dodgy guitar. In fact, it seems to match the absurd height difference of the two members in its inexplicable coherence. And the music that results can only be described within this framework of confused harmony. A dark and sensual sound is dominant, with the husky, bluesy voice of the front-woman paired with her primitive and yet innovative guitar playing. The drummer, Constantin, spares no molecule of his being with his energy being visibly splayed over the kit in franticly flailing arms and sweat drops, almost invariably leaving him half-naked by the end of a gig. Inspiration from bands such as The Pixies, The Dead Weather and The Doors can be heard weaving in and out of the songs in the set, a set which does not remain the same for very long due to Juliette’s constant writing of new songs sparked by newly formed passions for bands or a return to old and forgotten passions that can’t help but inspire the music of Juliette and the Sin. Essentially, it is this very word, “passion”, that sums up this band. Passion and raw talent. Definitely a band worth seeing if you’re into raw blues, garage rock, psychedelic and alternative rock (and they’re easy on the eyes too!)
