THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS – 2010
You may remember a couple of weeks ago when Lisa & Jess were tweeting about recording a Christmas song…. well, its out guys!! For the first time in a long time, we can get our hands on some new Veronicas music! The Veronicas have covered ‘Grown Up Christmas List’, its track #6 on the album, and you can purchase it on iTunes here. You can also, buy the hard copy album at Myer stores in Australia.
What do you guys think of the song? Lyrics are here :)
Edit: Sadly this song is only available on Australian iTunes :(
LISA RECORDING IN NASHVILLE
Over the past week Lisa has been back in the recording studio writing & recording with the likes of Tyler Bryant and Robbie G. Most of you guys would remember that Robbie G is a former Veronicas band member who left a couple of years ago.
Theres still no clear date on when the new album will be released, but Lisa & Jess have said that it will be early in the new year!

PRETTY PRETTY
The Veronicas singer has joined Corgan for the Pumpkins’ visit Down Under, which hits Festival Hall tonight.
Origliasso introduced Corgan to Summer Heights High on DVD in the US (“by the second episode I was hooked”) and he yesterday accompanied her on a shopping trip around Melbourne.
Corgan, who has written a song called Pretty Pretty for the new Veronicas album, will meet the extended Origliasso clan in Brisbane next week: “I’ve already met the parents, but I haven’t met all the rest of the family, so we’ll see how that goes,” Corgan told music writer Cameron Adams, “I’ve got no tattoos, so I’m ahead of the game.”
Corgan, who yelled “I love you, Jess” from the stage in Adelaide this week, said his girlfriend had noted the band’s wide appeal.
“Jessica said she can’t believe the diversity of our audience: there’s stoners, kids, Gen-Xers, housewives,” he said. “That tells you how many audiences I’ve built and burnt.”
