Beep beep m beep beep yeah!

Six years ago today we posted a live recording of us performing “Drive My Car” from a show we played in a Country-style Pub in Vienna. 
Little did we know that it would suddenly become one of our most watched videos during the last 12 months, introducing thousands of new people to our channel. If you’re one of them, welcome, we’re happy you decided to stick around 

When we had the opportunity to do a little photo/video shoot with an MG Oldtimer a few months ago, we filmed this short clip in order to celebrate the Birthday of the cover  Hope you like it!

One of the pictures from the shoot even made it on the front cover of the Octagon Car Club Bulletin and into a few other car magazines. If you’re a MLT Club Member you can watch the photos we took during the shoot here (make sure you are logged in first!).

To get a copy of the bulletin please contact the club through their website. They would be £2.00 plus postage.

If you’re interested in becoming a member to see exclusive content like those photos, you can find out more here.

Huge thanks to Peter Whyte for setting this up and his friend Tony Seed for letting us drive his 1954 MG TF and trusting Lisa not to wreck it 

????❤️

Watch the live performance on YouTube!

Song available on MonaLisa Twins play Beatles & More Vol. 1.

ORANGE – OUT NOW!

Orange Album Cover by MonaLisa Twins

September 29th, 2017 – ORANGE & 10 Years MonaLisa Twins 

Today is a MonaLisa Twins milestone in more than one way. Not only are we releasing our second originals album ORANGE and the music video to our single but we are also celebrating our 10 year anniversary of MonaLisa Twins. Who would have thought?

It has been a long and winding road, with many of you as our companions all along the way. Our sincerest thanks and appreciation for your trust in us, your continuous support and encouragement!

Today is the day we’ve all been looking forward to and working towards for a long time. To know that you guys, scattered all over the world and from all walks of life, are currently pressing the “play” button and getting to hear our latest creation sends shivers down our spines.
The album is now also available for download on our website, iTunes, Amazon and all other common digital music stores. However, of all these places, buying through our website is the best way to support us as we keep 100% of all earnings 🙂

Curious to hear your feedback

In the future we would love to tell you some of the backstories to this album but for now we want to give you all some time to get to know the tunes and make up your own mind. Of course we are dying to hear what you think, learn about your favourite songs and anything else you have to say. If you want to support us and get the word out about our album, please consider leaving us a review here (please register an account resp. log in first) and on Amazon 🙂

Thanks & Credits

We feel that on this special day we simply have to mention again how incredibly overwhelmed we were by the amount of pre-orders and your faith in us. Our estimated pre-orders had doubled before we even released the first single, and to us that means more than we can even put into words. Thank you for believing in us, for being on board and helping us paint the world ORANGE.

Of course we also want to point out the key role that our little team has played in the creation of this album. We are beyond proud of what we have achieved as a family and how our cottage industry/family business approach is working out and paying off. Our dad Rudi has played all the bass and piano parts and has produced, arranged and co-written all songs while our stepmum Michaela created the new website, all the new merch and everything in between. We did our bits in all departments, of course, and have learned a great deal again about business and how we can pick our way through the muddy territory. We’ve all worked our butts off, and getting the first bits of such overwhelming feedback for the new record thoroughly catapulted us to cloud 9. And we intend to enjoy the view for a while …

Now we’ll be quiet and let the music speak!

Stay ORANGE,
Mona and Lisa

Woodstock meets Liverpool – John Sebastian is here!

Do you believe in magic? 

Yesterday we took a trip to the airport. … Not to go anywhere but to pick up a very special person. Yeah, you’ve guessed it!
Woodstock legend John Sebastian is currently visiting us in the UK, walking the same grounds as our humble selves! If his name doesn’t sound familiar to you right away, then his music most certainly will. He’s had countless hits with his band The Lovin’ Spoonful as well as during his remarkable solo career. We are beyond proud and excited to have had him play on our new album ORANGE (out in 5 days!!!). 😉

While working out the concrete concept for our new video some weeks ago we kept coming back to the thought that we really could not NOT have John Sebastian starring in our official video. So we sent him this message titled CRAZY IDEA, asking him if he were up to coming over to England, and back came: “D’ya think they’ll let my Klon Centaur pedal through customs?”
Three weeks later the gates of Manchester airport swung open and the man himself stepped out, ready to spend some fun days of video filming, recording work and even a radio show with us.
Jealous, are you?
Well, we‘re kind enough to share him with you. The official music video for our new single “Waiting For The Waiter” is in the works, and while you’re reading this we are most likely on set, shooting the final scenes … Some editing to present him in the proper light … and then he’s yours, too!

But before that, tune in to BBC Radio Manchester tomorrow, 25th of September at 10 am GMT (convert to your timezone here) to hear us and John talk to Mike Sweeney on his radio show. Just click on this streaming link. BBC recently made it mandatory to have an account in order to listen live, so you might want to set that up already. We will announce the exact time that we will be on air on our social media pages and will post (photo) updates on our Instagram and Twitter over the next few days, so feel free to follow us there!

Pre-Orders are on their way!

By the way, all pre-orders have now been handed over to Mr. Postman, so keep an ear out for your doorbell ringing next week! Of course, you can still pre-order until the release date (the 29th of September) to get your CD/Vinyl signed.

In the meantime, get yourself in the mood with the “Waiting For The Waiter” lyrics video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YDstMS0Vgw
