The Sixties are back ... and they’ve never sounded as good!
The MonaLisa Twins are one of the very few modern bands who write original songs in the 60's Beat music tradition, reviving the genre with a fresh twist without sounding pop-ish or trivial. On their debut album "When We're Together" they present the finest Rock 'n' Roll and Beat music, skillfully venturing out in Psychedelic, Folk and even Latin genres, inspired by the likes of The Beatles, Bob Dylan and Simon & Garfunkel. Their signature features are polyphonic harmonies and a wiry, bright guitar sound. The even mix of fun and depth in their music and lyrics brings back the spirit of this time and therefore speaks to a wide range of international audiences.

While listening to and playing all different kinds of music genres in their youth the girls stayed with the 60's songwriting 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 mindset of the 60's. 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."

The core of the band are two 19 year old girls, actual twins named Mona and Lisa. Originally from Austria, they recently moved to Liverpool, UK, their spiritual home. But even before that they have travelled extensively, performing in the USA, Australia and UK in their teens. They started out with cover songs on YouTube and released two CDs with covers in 2007 and 2008. At 16 they decided to go for a professional music career and began to record their debut album "When We're Together" which was released in 2012. Since then they've played lots of live shows in small to medium-sized venues and festivals in Continental Europe and UK. On their travels they always do a lot of busking too, to raise interest for their own music and to gain new followers. Worldwide they're getting regular airplay on various kinds of local and national radio stations (college/internet/FM radios incl. BBC) and press coverage in newspapers. Their debut album and music videos received remarkable reviews in known online blogs and magazines. The twins produced a decent number of high quality music videos, which have garnered a total of about 3 million views, with excellent rankings for their genre and thousands of subscribers on YouTube and Facebook so far. All these activities and their excellent musicianship are adding to a fast growing, highly international fan community.

Their new album "MonaLisa Twins play Beatles & more", a fan-requested compilation of first-class live and studio cover recordings was released on March 28, 2014 and got already many influential people of the 60s era elite to write commendatory things about the twins, their covers and their own material (see quotes below). Moving forward through 2014, Mona and Lisa are dedicated to work on publishing more music videos and writing new songs.
