Something About The Beatles – With Robert Rodriguez – Radio Interview

Let’s talk Beatles! 

Right in time for the release of our two new albums MonaLisa Twins play Beatles & more Vol. 2 + 3 we’ve got something else to share with you that we think a lot of you might enjoy listening to! 

We were guests on the popular podcast “Something About The Beatles” with brilliant host Robert Rodriguez from Chicago. The show is more than an hour long, and we got to talk in detail about all sorts of things, from singing jingles about cheese in our car with Dad when we were growing up, to our first (failed!) attempts at covering “The Night Before” and our opinion on the Beatles’ solo careers.

We also performed two songs acoustically, including a song off ORANGE that we’ve never published online:

Two Of Us – at minute 00:56:00In It For Love – at minute 01:12:30

We also filmed both songs and will upload the videos to the MLT Club in a few weeks (we’re still working on other projects at the moment) so look out for that! If you’re not a Club member yet and want to know how to join click here.

We highly recommend his past episodes, too. He has all sorts of interesting Beatley guests on his show and his interviewing, editing, and audio quality are superb. Big thanks also go out to Robert’s executive producer Richard Wey, who also creates the artwork for all episodes, and Trevor for helping set this up!

Why don’t you head over to Robert’s podcast website, leave a comment underneath the episode and listen to more? 🙂

For the Beatle heads among you, check out his book “Revolver – How The Beatles Re-Imagined Rock’n’Roll”! This will certainly be our Xmas holiday reading.

Stay groovy,Mona & Lisa

Sgt. Pepper turns 50 – Podcast!

Happy Birthday Sgt. Pepper!

Not often does the whole world go nuts over an album’s birthday but it certainly did this week. ”Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart Club Band” turned 50. It jumped back on 1# on the Official UK Charts and sent Liverpool and Beatles fans around the world into a frenzy. This Beatles album might be the single most iconic album in music history and it certainly was a reason to celebrate. Being the Beatle nuts we are, of course we joined in. Happy Birthday Sgt. Pepper!

BBC Radio Merseyside put on a show “Liverpool plays Pepper” where radio legend Billy Butler (and former Cavern DJ during Beatle Days in the 60’s) invited musicians and friends of the Beatles to tell their stories connected to the album and play some live music.
We performed “Getting Better” (00:30:15) and “She’s Leaving Home” (01:05:15) live at the studio! Listen back here (podcast only available until 1st of July 2017).

A lot of the things we’ve been working on behind the scenes are going to see the daylight soon. Keep your eyes peeled! (What an odd saying, don’t you think?) It’s getting better all the time …

Stay groovy,
Mona and Lisa

We really loved Andrés’ questions!

MLT Interview to Celebrate 10 Million YouTube Hits – New Video!

To continue the celebrations of 10 Million YouTube hits, we made another video! Last week we asked you lovely people for your questions and got a whole lot of feedback. We debated doing a Q & A video but decided to answer in a different way this time and sat down with an interviewer.

In this video we talk about our journey so far and give you a little bit of a backstory on how we ended up where we are today, covering many of the topics we got questions about. The ones that have been with us on this ride for longer will be more familiar with a lot of it but hopefully there is something new for everyone.

We raided our archives once again for old footage and found some fun stuff which we included in the video. It was a great way even for us to look back on our lives.

THANKS to you for watching…. TEN MILLION TIMES. You are legends!

Hope you’re all having a lazy Sunday afternoon,
Mona & Lisa

You’ll probably remember that we had a German film team at our studio and at Cenario Concert at the beginning of June who filmed some scenes for the German TV magazine “ML mona lisa” (on ZDF). Then the months passed by and we often got asked when the thing would air. The time has come and we are happy to announce: The silly season is over and waiting has an end.

G’day mate how ‘ya doing? We’re on air today!

As you may know, we’re in Down Under at the moment but today we’re going to be on a show for an Austrian Radio Station! How that’s even possible? Last December “oe1 campus Schülerradio” (Pupil’s Radio) asked us if we wanted to do a radio show about our music.

We have worked on a school project together with that radio station where we got to know each other. We recorded a show and they said it’s gonna be on air on the 24th of January which is today. It’s in German, so sorry for all the English speakers out there.
