Hollywood star Juliette Lewis set to introduce some of the UK’s hottest bands at the Vodafone Live Music Awards 2008. When this press release hit my inbox it grabbed my attention; not because we need another awards ceremony in our life, or because the musicians out there need another excuse to get pissed on free booze, but because Juliette Lewis is an interesting choice of 'presenter'. I've met the brunette actress/frontwoman on a few occasions and she's downright off the planet. Her ever-confused facial expression and random quickfire comments are a delight to observe and when there's a mic in her hand she's a woman gone wild. This could be a hell of a lot of fun. Juliette will be joined by T4's Steve Jones; let's hope he's had his Weetabix. The event takes place at the Carling Academy Brixton and premieres on 4Music Friday 19th September, then on C4 Sat 20th September. The Ting Tings will take to the Brixton stage, as well as Estelle.
