About the Album
“MonaLisa and Band Live in Concert 2007” is a double CD with 24 cover songs. In 2007, at the age of 13 the MonaLisa Twins (back then called “MonaLisa and Band”) played their first big live concert where they performed a musical journey through time, starting from 1962 up to 2007. In a way that concert marked the beginning of their musical career.
“We’ve had music lessons for a couple of years before but it wasn’t until that one performance that we decided to make music more than just another hobby. The concert was held in a small hall, and we played the show two times with each about 70 people attending.”
The performance was a family project, with Mona & Lisa, their dad Rudolf and their stepmom Michaela on stage. Michaela learned to play the sax so she could support the band, just like their dad learnt to play bass and guitar. He also played the keyboard and sang a few of the songs. As usual, he did all the sound engineering and lights.
While Mona mainly played the drums and Lisa the guitar, they also changed instruments and all of them were singing lead or harmonies.

Their amazing talent was easy to see in the beginning. They bring new life to all these songs and take on some tough challenges.

I think I have figured out one of the reasons your music is so special, at least to me. I was in grade school during the 60s and was a little too young to appreciate the “British Invasion”. Someone brought a Beatles 45 to school and I wondered why these guys were screaming as I went back to listening to my Andy Williams and Tennessee Ernie Ford records. However, I do remember the war, the anti-war protests, the race riots and in retrospect, how Walter Cronkite lied to us about it all. It was a scary time to grow up, very reminiscent of what’s happening today, only now seems even worse and more dangerous.
Fast forward to college. I spent a semester in Mexico going to school and living with a family, totally immersed in the culture. I loved it but was somewhat homesick. Someone gave me a cassette of the Beatles greatest hits and I fell in love with it. It connected me to home and made me realize that so many of the catchy songs I had heard on Muzak were really Beatles songs. I finally started appreciating the 60s and 70s music I had ignored when I was younger.
Now, when I hear Mona and Lisa sing their beautiful harmonies and see the joy in their eyes it reminds me of the good parts of the 60s: the love, the peace, the brotherhood, the being real; the groovy parts, and it makes me forget the bad parts. You bring out the best parts of the 60s and it’s as though the rotten stuff never happened. Thanks for making the joy real and reminding us of the positives from the 60s!

Must say I love this album as I do all of MLT’s albums so varied, such talented artists. Some fantastic and classic songs and I actually prefer loads of the covers to the originals so good to listen very refreshing and better than todays music by many miles. In one word a capital AMAZING. ?? x

I did a more detailed review of this album a few months ago in the CD section, but here are some more thoughts and experiences with this album since then I wanted to share with everyone.
I can’t recommend this album enough as it is a real gem. The CD covers says “A Musical Journey 1963 – 2007”, and it is an incredible music journey indeed that Mona Lisa and Band present here. 24 tracks of some great pop/rock songs spanning several decades with absolutely beautiful MLT harmony and outstanding instrumentation. Some of my favorite tracks are Aufstehn, Der Kommissar, Back to Life, Stand By Me, Samba Pa Ti, Wonderful Tonight, Michelle, I Will, Smoke on the Water, Proud Mary just to name a few, but really I love every song they did here, as they add another dimension to the music with their unique singing style that draws you to listen to it over and over again.
Last year I took this Album on a week long Alaska Cruise, and then later on a number of road trips, and it was an absolute pleasure to listen to for hours! It’s my favourite album when I hit the road and sits high in my most listened to list, and my wife likes it a lot too. Her favourite track is Der Kommissar, Michelle and Wonderful Tonight (because I sang this one to her with the MLT track playing in the background). 🙂

The girls are joined by their dad and step mother for a great concert of classic 60’s and 70’s songs sure to please everyone! The up and coming Twins show us that they had it back in their younger days and we know how great they have become today! A MUST HAVE treat for all MonaLisa fans! I LOVE these young ladies!
