All Video Clips on our Website & YouTube – New Videos!

We finally finished cutting ALL video clips from the MonaLisa Concert in October 07.

We uploaded them on Youtube and you can watch them on our website as well. It really was a lot of work (mainly for our Dad) to cut the music videos for 24 songs but we are really pleased with the result and hope you are too.
You can find us on Youtube under “MonaLisaTwins”. Write comments and subscribe if you want. Let us know what you think about the clips and show them to your friends if you like them.

All the best,
Mona & Lisa

Cutting and Editing Our First Music Videos!

MonaLisa Twins in the studio 2007 working on first music videos

Good Saturday morning everybody! We have some great news!

Do you remember the CD we released a couple of weeks ago? Well guess what – we are now making the first music videos for those 24 tracks. At the two concerts in October we had four cameras filming the show. We now collected all the tapes and our Dad digitalized them and started to cut some videos. The clips should be finished in about a month and we can’t wait to share them with you. We hope you’ll like them.

We’ll keep you updated. Much love,
Mona & Lisa

“MonaLisa & Band Live 2007” CD Release

MonaLisa & Band Live 2007

Hooray! Our new (and first) album “MonaLisa & Band Live 2007” CD  is released!

It is a double CD and has got 24 songs on it! The ones we covered with our parents and performed for our family, friends and people we know. We finally got the CDs from the pressing plant! And you can now buy it at our store here on the website or on Itunes and Amazon!


Of course we’d love you to order a copy of “MonaLisa & Band Live 2007” as we’re sure you’re not going to regret it? 24 songs really is a lot of music! The album art is designed by out stepmum Michaela and our Dad did all the recording, mixing & mastering with us. The whole process of making a CD was really new for us but it was so much fun that we can’t wait to do a second one.

We hope to see you soon with some more updates!

Studio Work – MonaLisa’s First Album

Mastering the Monalisa Twins' First Album

We told you about the CD we are gonna make until the end of this year.

We live-recorded the two concerts we did in October and are now putting it all together to create our first album. We re-recorded a few tracks again but tempo and most of the things you hear are still from the live concert. We coulnd’t use all of the recordings as our mixing console (with which we recorded) had problems with one of the “cards” in it so it didn’t record a clean sound. Some of the tracks just had these funny whooshing noises on it so we had to record them again. Still, the tempo and most of the tracks are the original live recordings from our concert in October.

We are quite proud of what we have so far …

… but we (and especially our Dad) still have quite some work ahead of us. The CD should be finished before Christmas though and you can pre-order it at any time by contacting us. We are looking forward to releasing it!

Stay tuned,
Mona & Lisa

Our First Live Concerts

MonaLisa Twins at one of their First Two live Concert

We did it! Last week we had our two first live concerts and it was great!

The last months we had been practicing so much and it was definitely worth it. We had two shows, one on the 29th September and a second one the 5th of October. All in all there were about 150 people coming! For us that is just unbelievable.

We now know that we really want to do music for a living later. It’s just so much fun to play live and to see that people like it.
We played 24 songs from all kinds of bands and all kinds of eras starting with The Beatles and The Troggs right through to Deep Purple, James Blunt, and Falco. Looking back to it now we really learned a lot during the last months. The fact that we covered many various songs made us learn a lot of different techniques and styles on both the guitar and the drums. Mona even played the keyboards in one of the songs!

We recorded the two concerts and hopefully will be able to have our first Live-CD done by the end of this year. We got a lot of pre-orders already so we will try to release the CD as soon as possible so you guys can also buy it on the website.


We want to thank everyone for coming and we hope to see you and even more at our next concerts.
Peace and Love to all of you,
Mona & Lisa
