The Veronicas #2: 'We all have girlcrushes on these twins'

Welcome to The Veronicas Appreciation Thread


(credit: Ann - PJ_Believer)

In a word, WOW....that's The Veronicas.

22 year-old identical twins from Brisbane Australia, Jess and Lisa Origliasso blend natural born singing and songwriting talent, looks to kill and a lifetime of performing experience to create an off the hook, irresistibly appealing debut album. If it all sounds too good to be true, The Secret Life Of The Veronicas, their dynamic Sire Records debut album kicks the "Wow Factor" up a notch or two. Simply put, The Veronicas bear no resemblance to your standard prepackaged teen dream. Tough and edgy with hooks and harmonies to spare, the Veronica's deliver a sound and lyrics that rock with the sheer joy of free spirits on the prowl, ready to take over the planet.

It gets better. Born on Christmas Day, for real, with a bond so strong they regularly finish each other's sentences, Jess and Lisa possess a wealth of show business skills, honed over fifteen years of live performing. Do the math,
these girls began entertaining at the age of five, serving an apprenticeship which quickly made the stage their second home. It's that seemingly effortless ability to connect with an audience that's become a Veronica's trademark.

Hello there. I'm aware that the old thread has 295 posts and that that's close to having a new thread. However, threads are closed (and a new one created) when there are 300 posts. Sometimes we make a concession and close it at 299 posts. But 295 is kind of a stretch, and I'm sorry but I can't allow that. I'm going to close this. Finish up that old one first, then I'll re-open this thread along with a bump so that people know there's this thread already and won't create another one. I hope you understand

Interview with Lisa:

Quote:
Pop Rocks and Coke



THE VERONICAS by Ben Preece

When Lisa Origliasso mentions that she’s shopping in LA with her mother, Time Off instantly assumes that she’s shopping rock star style - a trip that involves armloads of ridiculously oversized bags from glamorous clothing stores or shoe shops. So what’s top of the shopping list, Lisa?

“Nectarines!” she shouts to her mum, mid-conversation. “For some reason I am really hanging for nectarines,” she giggles.

Along with twin sister Jess, the last year has been a blur for Lisa and has seen the sibling duo do it all.

They released The Secret Life Of…, the smash-hit LP (which is still in the top 30 after a whole year) which has so far spawned four hit singles with their newbie (‘Leave Me Alone’) set to do the same. They took on Archie comics over their name, sang a song for TV show Related and are currently the face of Choice Calvin Klein and hair product nu:u.



“It’s absolutely amazing, staggering,” Lisa enthuses, “We never, ever, ever thought we’d do this, to do what we love most, to play and write songs.”

She pauses. “It’s corny, I know, but we’re really living the dream.”



Amid the accolades, Lisa insists that music and songwriting are the first and foremost priorities of her and her sister. This doesn’t always necessarily mean a song they’ve put together will always go towards a Veronicas project.



“We’ve written ‘All About Us’ for t.A.T.u., ‘What’s Going On’ for Casey Donavon and ‘Faded’ for Kate DeAraugo,” she reels off, somewhat humbly, “but it’s particularly cool to be on that Sleepy Jackson record [Personality].” We were signed as songwriters before we were signed as performers and all - but you never really expect someone like Luke Steele to take the likes of us seriously.”



Lisa, now with nectarine in hand, says she’s overwhelmed to be coming back home for an unexpected trip. She’s talking about the massive Coca Cola Live’N’Local Tour which takes in five capital cities and teams Brisbane’s favourite sisters with a Who’s Who of hot Aussie acts - Evermore, End Of Fashion, After The Fall and The Hot Lies.

“We’ve met the Evermore boys before,” she giggles amid banter with her mother, “And they are so lovely. I really can’t wait to play these gigs and it’s always a good excuse, any excuse to get back home. We’re the only girls on the tour, which should be fun - and yes, we can take those boys on!” she laughs cheekily.

But despite the endless accolades these talented twins are racking up under their stylish belts, the question that sits on the tip of Australia’s collective tongue is, ‘When are we going to get new material from The Veronicas?’.

“You know, we’re working towards exposure in the UK and the States right now,” Lisa says almost apologetically. “They’re such hard markets to crack but, to be honest, we haven’t even begun to record anything. We’re still pushing this one hard, we have the Coke tour and the ARIAs coming up which we can’t wait for! The thought of our next record never leaves our brains and we’re always writing songs - some really good ones - and talking ideas. New, innovative ideas that we hope, once it eventually comes out, will rock you!”

The Veronicas play Coca Cola Live’N’Local at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre Sunday Nov 5. The Secret Life Of… out now through Sire/Warner.

when did I become a legend?

Well Lisa can always eat me .

Thanks for posting that Aria pic, I love it. I've only seen some pics and parts of them on youtube on the Aria's cos my laptop hates me and declared war to youtube behind my back so now youtube refuses to play vids for me so I've been deprived of some of the vids that are out there from the girls.

I'm definately gonna try to remember your name, though it's not hard seeing as half of our cute twins has the same name.

I'm here, Jess

That's the quote and I love the one, where they presented to the best female singer and she told them that she was making future boyfriends for them, which was because she was pregnant with twins

Thanks for the pictures I like how Lisa's dyed her hair blonde again. It looks great on her.

Aww that lady said that?? Man I need to get my hands on those vids!

Got this from the board of The Veronicas:

Quote:
Hey. Just for all of you who havn't/can't get the new issue of Girlfriend with The Veronicas on the cover I thought I'd write out all the quotes so you can use them to put in your signatures or just to read them all!

On Marissa being killed off on The OC...
Jess: "I wasn't expecting that! It adds some real excitement to the series. It'll be cool to see where it goes from here, coz honestly, it was getting a little boring."

On girls kissing girls...
Jess: "I wouldn't mind seeing Angelina Jolie pash another girl! It's good to see that these days people's sexualities are more accepted. I believe people should be able to love who they want and not be looked down upon for it!"

On Italy winning the World Cup...
Jess: "We were in Milan recently and they have some of the most good-looking boys I've ever seen! My family really loved the Cup too; we got some nice Italian wine and all watched the final together."

On AFI's DecemberUnderground CD...
Jess: "It's ******ing awesome! I like their earlier stuff too, but I love this coz it's different; it has a kinda urban feel to it, something people didn't expect. Lisa and I got a tat of one of the lyrics off the album."

On Brisbane...
Jess: "You can't home! Brisbane is great to keep coming back to. We love hanging out at the local Woolies and we love the clubbing scene there. Places like GPO in the Valley are always great for cool music and gigs."

On Teddy Geiger...
Lisa: "He's cute! I'm not very familiar with his songs though...is that wrong?"

On Veronica Mars...
Jess: "Some of our friends back in the States work on that show, so we always get together and watch it."

On musical ringtones...
Jess: "I freaking love them! I have AC/DC's 'Back In Black' as my ringtone right now, and whenever it goes off in the States, people just love it."

On emo boys...
Lisa: "Gotta love 'em...they're everywhere these days!"

On The Smiths...
Jess: "I've only just started listening to this band. They're an English band from the '80s and they're awesome. My friend introduced me and I'm obsessed now."

On exercise...
Jess: "Exercise is so important, and if I could do it, I totally would! [laughs] Lisa and I have started doing walks every day but I'm a pretty lazy b*tch. I'll get motivated soon; I just enrolled in some dance classes so that should help."

On Converse All-Stars...
Lisa: "We love wearing them on stage or around the house coz they are so comfy! The older and dirtier, the better!"

On throat nodules...
Lisa: "Throat nodules are so hot right now! Everyone needs to go out and get them! NOT. Most annoying thing ever!"

On cork wedges...
Lisa: "I always loved them. But now that everyone's got them, they've become a little...not."

On bullying...
Jess: "It's sad to hear that this kinda ***** still goes on at school. Girls can be so nasty. When you turn 20 or 21, you just realise that all that petty arguing just isn't worth it."
THe girls should totally make out with a girl! Or with me! Or with each other. Ok sorry but that would be hot!

"...then Jess and Lisa, who have spent the day sleeping on each other, singing together, laughing in harmony and finishing each other's sentences, suddenly split into good twin and evil twin. It is a fearfully compelling sight. They are both unhappy about a decision made by the record company, but Jess says Lisa did not do enough to stand up to the Label. If they had both stayed solid, the twins could have had their way. Jess says Lisa is weak and does not care. Lisa says people always come to her because they are too scared to speak to Jess. Jess says they should be frightened to speak to Lisa, because she is so ugly. "Your face would scare anyone," says Jess. "We're identical twins," says her sister. "Moron".
How good was this interview in "Good Weekend Magazine" on Saturday. It was a great read Very honest.

Ann

That is so cool about your friend's dad

She did, Nath.

They were extra giddy when Bernard Fanning thanked them.

That interview sounds so funny.

Jess

That's awesome that your friend's dad taught them

I heard over at the official board, when they had the Coke-Cola Live Tour over at Adelaide, someone threw a bottle at Lisa and Jess got very defensive and screamed at the moron. She said that was going to stop the show and leave if they kept going on. Aww. I love their sistery love
