Juliette Lewis has revealed her latest musical endeavor, dubbed Juliette and the New Romantiques.

Lewis and her newly minted crew will kick off a string of live festival gigs with a performance March 18 at this year’s SXSW in Austin, TX, followed by a stop at San Diego’s IndieFest V March 28 before heading off for a two-night stand June 5-6 at Germany’s Rock Am Ring Festival. Itinerary details are below.

The actress and rock frontwoman–who in mid-January ended her seven-year run with her previous band, The Licks–also announced that an impending album, “Terra Incognita,” is in the pipeline, which new group’s MySpace page listed only as “coming soon.”

The songstress commented on her MySpace blog, “This new incarnation is more about disillusionment and hope. Determination and despair. Romance and tragedy. And truly creating music that comes from those conflicts. It is more about a sound and energy than a ‘band’.”
