Entertainment
Written By: Tiffany Tahiji - Gen-W Staff - Chisholm High School


The 24 year-old identical twins from Brisbane Australia, Jess and Lisa Origliasso make the best mix of natural born singing and songwriting talent, looks that kill and a lifetime of performing experience to create a edgy, unique, and simply fantastic duo. If it all sounds too good to be true, The Secret Life Of The Veronicas, Hook Me Up, and their highly anticipated third album kicks up their “Wow Factor” a notch or two. Simply put, The Veronicas bear no resemblance to the standard prepackaged sugar coated teen dream. Tough and edgy, The Veronica's have mastered a sound and lyrics that rock with the sheer joy of free spirits on the prowl, ready to take over the planet.

Born on Christmas Day, 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. These girls began entertaining at just 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.

In their mid-teens, Jess and Lisa, were, influences from a wide range of artists from Roy Orbison and AC/DC. The Veronicas began experimenting with everything from rock to hip hop to R&B, before hitting on a distinctive musical hybrid anchored by a unique harmonic blend found in the Everly Brothers and Oasis.

They were signed to an exclusive production deal with Engine Room on the strength of their very first demo. Jess and Lisa spent the next year creating over fifty songs for just their first album. They have made songwriting jaunts to London, Los Angeles, NYC and Vancouver, Stockholm and points between, The Veronicas compiled an impressive collection of songs.

They have created a reputation for cutting edge music that caused Sire Records to fall for The Veronicas. The girls returned the kudos by signing on board. Work immediately began in Los Angeles on their major label debut. After Sire Records signed Lisa and Jess they moved to Los Angeles, changed their name to the Veronicas, and turned 20 years old. All to live out their dream come true.

Their determination and pure talent has resulted in two stellar albums. They began to work on their third album in January 2010. For this album they wish to achieve a different sound from the other two albums. Jess has been quoted saying "I know that right now we’re listening to quiet different music, so maybe we’ll come together and bring both of our influences.” The release date for their new album has not been decided upon yet, but in highly anticipated.
