They are one of the very few modern artists who write original songs in the 60s Beat music tradition, redefining and reviving the genre with an authentic, fresh twist without sounding pop-ish or trivial. Their signature features are their wonderful close harmonies and the wiry, bright guitar sound. Combined with a mix of humour and depth in their music so much reminiscent of the 60s they naturally speak to a wide range of international audiences.
On their debut album "When We're Together" (2012), which they recorded at the mere age of 16, they present finest Rock 'n' Roll and Beat music, skilfully venturing out in Psychedelic, Folk and even Latin genres, inspired by the likes of The Beatles, Bob Dylan or Simon & Garfunkel. Their single "That's Life" (2015) with its astute lyrics, funky guitar-solo and classical string arrangements gives a promising foretaste of what is to come on their second album which they are currently working on.
Their signature features are their harmonies and a wiry, bright guitar sound. The even mix of fun and depth in their music and lyrics brings back the spirit of the Sixties in a timeless style that speaks to a wide range of international audiences.
While listening to and playing all different kinds of music genres in their youth real-life twins Mona and Lisa stayed with the 60s song-writing style, something they think is way too much neglected these days:
"We aim to write songs which we ourselves would like to listen to and we always loved the spiritual, humorous and true-to-life mind-set of the 60s. However we aren't nostalgic about it or trying to be "retro". We simply believe that something great had been started in this era that is worthy of being continued."
But how? They were born into a country (Austria) that celebrated classical and folk music and that was rather detached from the easy going 60s spirit one associates with England or the States.
They picked their parents wisely though. Together with their father, a musician/song-writer/producer, and their step-mother they fully concentrated on the twins' music and over the years built up a professional, full-time family business.
9 years, 4 albums, 92 music videos, 10 million YouTube views, tens of thousands of subscribers and a lot of blood, sweat and tears later, they are living and working in the UK. stations under their belt, they have come a long way since daydreaming about the future at the age of 13.
