The Veronicas Begin Writing & Recording Third Album
The Veronicas posted an update on their official web site on Monday (November 30), talking about work on a follow-up to ‘Hook Me Up’. The Australian pop rock twins write:
Lis and I thought we would send a little update with what we’ve been up to the past couple of weeks. Things might seem quiet, but the past few weeks we’ve been shacked up making a lot of noise in Brisbane with Jungle George, writing and recording for our third record. We’ve been experimenting with a lot of different sounds for this next record - citing influences from The Subways, The Dead Weather, Mazzy Star, Ladytron and Peaches. We’ve also been doing some writing collaborations as well with Erinn and Matt from Streamer Bendy, and also the amazinng Suzi Quatro (yes that’s right). Also, we’ve been relaxing a fair bit, before we head back to the UK next week for the big Xmas show in London. We’re going to do a video blog while we are in London to say hiii to you cute kids out in Youtube world! (when I say kids.. I don’t actually mean kids.. I even call my older friends kids..ha.) Welllll I’m off to meet up with Jungle and some mates to see a gig! So I’ll speak soon <3 Keep on loving <3 Jessssica and Lis

Lisa & Jess Origliasso Blast Courier-Mail For Implying Incest
Lisa and Jess Origliasso of The Veronicas are both sounding off on their hometown newspaper The Courier-Mail after they wrote about Lisa buying her own DVD ‘Revenge is Sweeter’ at HMV last week.
Lisa told her Twitter followers (@Lisa_Veronica):
@couriermail just so you know it wasn’t that you wrote that I bought my own DVD that I cared about at all. It was the fact you said “Jess and I have been seen not being able to keep our hands off each other” .. that is SICK and you know very well that’s what I was talking about when I blasted you guys on here!!! That’s why you deleted it off the news story!
@couriermail and don’t worry, I have a screen cap of the article BEFORE you edited it, and will be making sure to find our exactly who wrote a news story so PATHETIC you would imply that Me and my sister are acting incestual. You disgust me.
And Jess just wrote on her Twitter (@Jessicaveronica):
Finds it interesting that the @couriermail never prints the names of their “journalists” who write these articles in “confidential” next to the piece. What are afraid of? Although I guess if u were a real “Journalist” you wouldn’t be writing for the confidential/tabloid section.
At least our “pop music that isn’t considered Art” makes people happy. What do your articles of sarcasm achieve?
Integrity something you lack @couriermail
