Seeing Paul McCartney Live in Cologne

Mona with Paul McCartney tickets for Cologne

Yesterday was SUCH an amazing day!

We flew to Cologne/Germany to see a 3 hours concert of Paul McCartney at the Cologne Lanxess Arena. We’re still overwhelmed and a bit dizzy in the head. The 3-hour concert already owns a spot in the “5 best moments of our live” 😉
For us it was so great to see our biggest idol and the man we look up to the most live on stage, No now we’re still running around the house with the biggest smiles on our faces. We’ll certainly never ever forget that day!

Before the concert we met up with a lovely local fan and today (before we the took the plane back to Vienna) we visited the new “Music Store” in Cologne. It moved and is even bigger now! You could probably spent days in there!
We just came back from the airport and we’ll go to bed soon but we just had to tell you about this first!
Tomorrow it’s time to get back to work!

We just came back from a photoshoot! We took lots of pictures for the CD booklet of the “soon the be released” album “When we’re together”. At the moment we are working simultaneously on the CD cover/booklet design, the new website/shop and of course on mixing the songs. It’s getting close to the finish line!

We are doing very well and the end is definitely in sight!

We will let you know as soon as you can start pre-ordering the album!

When We're Together Audio recording in Cubase

Hey guys! The album work is coming along really well and we’re nearly finished.

We did a lot of experimenting with some new equipment and vintage gear we got (also guitars). Finally we are getting closer to the sound we have in mind.
Unfortunately there have been some unexpected things coming up the last weeks that delayed work a bit but we are enjoying making this CD a lot and really try to make it as good as possible.
You can follow us on Facebook and Twitter to stay up to date and of course subscribe to our newsletter. It’s an easy way to talk to us and stay up to date and get to see some new photos and background info. More details will be announced soon! Nearly finished!

Take care!

CD Production Update – One Step At A Time

The last couple of months we have been working on our new album with original songs.

Here is a quick production update! We finished writing all of the songs and have recorded a lot of them already. As usual we’re working in our own recording studio with our Dad as the producer. It’s lots and lots of fun and we thank you guys for sticking with us even though we haven’t released much lately. We are working hard on the new CD though and are looking forward to presenting it to you. We’ll hopefully have it finished in a couple of months!

Have a great time,
Mona & Lisa

While My Guitar Gently Weeps – New Video!

Late night show – It is 5 o’clock in the morning as I am writing this.

Yes, I’m forcing myself to write this NOW … more authentic ;). Lisa is at the studio with Dad giving the new song “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” the finishing touch. We worked all night as we are leaving tomorrow (well, today actually) for a short holiday with our little cousin.
For the video we used a lot of footage from our trip to the Frankfurt music trade fair and the Musicstore Cologne. The rest was filmed in our studio. The guitar parts were quite challenging but it I think they turned out pretty well. Thanks to our guitar teacher for letting us borrow his custom Fender! (Our Stratocaster-like guitar doesn’t have a decent Tremolo).

It was a great song to work on and we tried to make it sound close to the original with a bit of a MonaLisa signature. The new video will be up by the time you read this. Enjoy, and let us know how you like it!

Back Home In Austria After Successful Trip

Mona at Musikmesse Frankfurt 2011
Mona at Musikmesse Frankfurt 2011

Our trip to Germany is over and we are back home again.

Visiting the Frankfurt Musikmesse and the Music Store in Cologne was a blast. We really enjoyed it and learned extremely much about guitars and technical stuff. We’re now going to look through all the flyers, information and booklets we got there. We’ve saved all the photos taken there and started recording a new cover song we want to make for you.  We plan on using some of the video footage from our trip. Now that we’re back home we’ll record with the new guitars we just bought and which sound awesome so far. In a few days we’ll start cutting the video and in about a week you should be able to watch it online. Fun, fun, fun!

Musikmesse Frankfurt 2011 – What An Experience

Lisa at Musikmesse Frankfurt

Today was the 2nd day at the fair.

We’ll still be here tomorrow and then leaving Saturday morning. This was beyond our expectations … We knew the Musikmesse Frankfurt was gonna be big but this is MASSIVE. There is just SO much to see! We spent the whole first day in just one building and there are like four or five of them. It is a lot of fun here – we are learning about a lot of stuff and got to test even more awesome guitars. We also decided that we wanted to do another cover song for you (as it will still take a while until you’ll get to hear the originals) so we are filming some things that we could use for the next music video. Won’t tell you the name of the song yet … get excited!

Music Store Köln (Cologne) – We’re In Heaven!

Mona at Music Store Köln
Mona at Music Store Köln

Today we spent the second day at the Music Store Köln.

It’s amazing here! We tested SO many guitars and stayed in the testing room for pretty much the whole day. We got to try out nearly everything we are interested in and now have a really good overview about what we need in order to get the sound we want. It’s really late at night here as we also visited the Vintage shop “Musikkeller Dorsten” after the Music Store Köln had closed. It’s a rather small Vintage shop (which we didn’t know before) in the north of Cologne that someone from the Music Store recommended to us. It was insane! SOOO many old guitars and basses! Of course we couldn’t leave empty handed …
