Hafen Open Air – Can’t Buy Me Love – Photos


On August 16th 2013 we played the Hafen Open Air in Austria, on the shores of River Danube (hafen = harbour). On our set list we included Can’t Buy Me Love which we filmed and uploaded to YouTube a few months later. That video has turned 6 years old on September 14th and has been watched over half a million times, so we thought it fitting to revisit that day in picture form.

Below you can find all the photos from the day. We played the show with Robin Gadermaier on the bass and Philipp Wolf on the drums. Halfway through an ORF (Austrian national public service broadcaster) film team came on stage to capture some of the performance for a news special.

And here’s a little quiz for you: You should be able to recognise one of the pictures. Which one and where from?

“While My Guitar Gently Weeps” Reaches 1 Million Views!

Our first 1 Million views on a single video!!!

You did it! “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” was meant to be our first video that reaches this crazy milestone and we couldn’t be happier. 1 Million! Recording this cover was a totally spontaneous idea we had after planning a trip to Germany. We were going to visit the Musikmesse in Frankfurt which is a huge music fair.
The ideas was to look at and test certain guitars for our future MLT sound there! We thought it seemed like a fitting, humorous idea to film the video during our trip. If someone had told us back then that this on-a-whim idea would be watched a million times, 6 years and 1 day later, we’d have laughed. Yet here we are and we’re laughing! In the best way possible 🙂

Thank you, George Harrison, for this incredible song with words that couldn’t describe the world we live in in a more poetic way.
While our guitars gently weep,

“Friday On My Mind” – New Cover Video!

I’ve got Friday on my mind! Especially Friday the 4th of July when we will have the pleasure of performing at “The Met” in Manchester, together with Mike Sweeney from “The Swinging Blue Jeans” & Paddy O’Hare. Mike Sweeney is a well-known radio presenter on BBC Manchester, and just like Billy Butler on BBC Radio Merseyside he’s playing our songs regularly. You can get tickets here: +44/(0)161/761 22 16

Until then you can enjoy (hopefully) our version of the song “Friday On My Mind” by the Australian 60s band The Easybeats. The recording is also on our album “MonaLisa Twins play Beatles & more“, and we now have a video on YouTube for each and every song from the album, hoorrray! The video was taken from our gig at the Shamrock Pub back in 2012 in Austria with Philipp Wolf on the drums and Michael Mozeth on the bass.

Today is also the birthday of our stepmum who is also our manager, friend, helper and much more. Love you big time!

“People Are Strange” – New Cover Video!

This is our birthday present from us to you! Our life as a teenager is now officially over – we think that is a lot of reason to celebrate. Byebye 19, hello 20! We can’t wait to see where life will take us during the next two decades, or as we prefer to say, where we will take life next!

One more reason to be happy is that we just reached 15,000 Facebook likes, that’s SO many of you! To celebrate, please enjoy this new video we’ve put together! “People Are Strange” has always been our favourite song by The Doors. The lyrics, with all the various meanings of “strange”, capture the nature of strangeness in such a perfect way. It’s off our latest album “MonaLisa Twins play Beatles & more“.

Give it up for Philipp Wolf on the drums and Michael Mozeth on the bass!

“The Last Time” – New Cover Video!

We finished cutting together a new live video from a concert we played back in Austria – with Michael Mozeth on the bass and Philipp Wolf on the drums: “The Last Time” by the Rolling Stones, which is also track number 14 on our latest cover album “MonaLisa Twins play Beatles & more“!

Hopefully not the last time with Philipp and Moz. Thank you guys for two wonderful fun years of live shows and looking forward to playing a “reunion gig” with you at some point!

Stay groovy,
Mona & Lisa

“Drive My Car” (Beatles-Cover) – New Live Video!

It’s been quite a while that we published a music video on Youtube! But we haven’t been idle: Since the trailer video to our first album “When We’re Together” in March 2012 we’ve been playing nearly 30 live shows to make our music and band known to people. And of course we’ve collected video footage of these gigs like squirrels use to collect nuts for a long winter. Since our international fans deserve to see more of us again and to “be live at our gigs” retrospectively we’ll spend our next weeks and months with some video-cutting :).

Here comes the first live cover “Drive my Car” (Beatles) which we shot at the Saloon in Vienna shortly.

You are welcome to rate and comment the video on Youtube, to share it with your friends and on your websites and to subscribe to our Youtube channel.

We dearly thank our great audience and true fans, of course our bassman Michael “Moz” Mozeth and drummer Philipp Wolf, our sound engineer Dad as well as our camera team Johann, Robert, Sebastian, Jacki and Michaela for their dedication!
