Here is a interview from yesterdays Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball. The girls look so elegant & pretty! I am really loving their new outfits. Check out the cute screen caps in our gallery! :)

Thanks to Amy we have some lovely scans from the new LOOK magazine in the UK. You can check them out here.
Following their hit ‘Untouched’ in May, Aussie identical twin sisters Jessica and Lisa Origliasso are set to take over with their feisty electropop…
We love the new album! But is it true you actually recorded it more than two years ago?
Lisa: Yeah. Hook Me Up was first released two years ago back in Australia and went to No1. It does feel strange to be promoting it again in the UK, but we’re really happy people here are liking it.
Jess: It’s nice to finally get over to this side of the world and be releasing music.

Farrier and Farrar interview The Veronicas.

Lisa and Jess visited Alloy recently to talk about their recent tour with Natasha Bedingfield and Kate Voegele and tell us about what it’s like living on a tour bus!

Chris Carle got to chat with one half of the twin sister due from Down Under.

US, July 18, 2008 – The twin sisters Origliasso (Lisa and Jessica), better known together as The Veronicas, are quite huge in their native Australia.

The duo are preparing the U.S. release of their sophomore effort, Hook Me Up, which was released in their home land in October of 2007.

Hook Me Up represents the follow-up to the girl’s debut, The Secret Life Of….

“It’s been more than two years since we wrote the first record so our musical tastes have changed a bit,” Lisa says. “We’ve been living in Los Angeles where we got into the whole electro-pop rock scene. When it came time to write the album, we were really inspired by it musically.”

Hook Me Up was recorded at Lisa and Jess’s home in the Hollywood Hills and sees the duo collaborating with Shelly Peiken (Christina Aguilera), Greg Wells (Mika), John Feldmann (The Used, Good Charlotte), and Billy Steinberg (Madonna). They also wrote a number of songs with Toby Gad, who contributed three tracks to Secret Life Of… and may best be known for penning Fergie’s 2007 hit “Big Girls Don’t Cry.”

We recently caught up with the girls (actually Jess) to discuss their latest project.

This is a funny little interview, the last question is the best!!

Look out, Tegan and Sara! Here come the Veronicas — the spunky, electro-poppy Australian quintet led by 23-year-old identical twin sisters Jessica and Lisa Origliasso. Down Under, they’re superstars who regularly sell out arenas, win awards and have their own clothing line at Target. Here they’re still trying to break through. We caught up with the super-friendly Jessica over the phone a couple of hours before their performance in Baltimore
What are the hours leading up to a show like for you? Are you nervous?

Jessica Origliasso: A little! A lot of stuff happens. We usually spend an hour doing makeup and picking an outfit. And then we all, like, do a chant.

You do a chant?

We’ll do a really stupid chant before we go on. Just, like, we put all our hands in and go, “Veronicas, Veronicas…,” and then we’ll come up with something to say that day. Like, I dunno, one time it was “Ride that bull, bitch, yeah!” We had seen this mechanical bull that day, so it was “Ride that bull, bitch!” It could be anything that day that anyone’s come up with.

Awesome. So who was the first musician you saw when you were young — either live or on TV — where you were like, “I want to do that.”

Oh, Michael Jackson, for sure! When we saw him in ’96, we fell in love with him. We had a Michael Jackson shrine, with flags and posters and T-shirts and stuff. And every year on his birthday, we’d have a birthday cake and spend the day learning his dances and watching his videos.

Is it still cool to hear your songs when they come on the radio?

Yeah, I love it! I have a funny story. My boyfriend that I’m with now, he’s in kind of this indie band in Australia. Anyway, so the first night we went out on a date, he took me out on this boat ride, and then we took a cab back, and my song came on the radio. And I was like, “Yes. Awesome. I look so cool right now.” So we get out and he was like, “Yeah, so…you like Pink, I guess?” And I was like, “What?” He’s like, “Obviously you like Pink — you were just listening to the radio and singing along,” and I was like, “That’s not Pink, that was me!” He had no idea. He was like, “Oh, my gosh, I’m sorry. I don’t listen to the radio.”
