TWINS
MONA LISA
Interview by
Lon Levin
I came by MLT on the internet a couple years ago and was blown away. I had to interview them and they agreed. The MonaLisa Twins, with 25-year-old actual twins Mona and Lisa Wagner fronting the band, are one of the very few modern groups who continue the tradition of song-writing that took off in 1963. They bring back what has been started 50 years ago and write modern songs in the 60’s Beat music tradition, reviving the genre with a fresh twist without sounding pop-ish or trivial. Their signature features are their close harmonies and wirey, bright guitar sound, with a mix of humor and depth in their music that speaks to a wide range of international audiences.
