Excuse Me, My Good Man, But Can You Inform Me What Exactly That Aural Excitement Is?
From 2016, please enjoy everybody's favorite sister act, The Mona Lisa Twins, live at the legendary Cavern Club in Liverpool, with a kick-ass version of the Buffalo Springfield's counter-cultural anthem "For What It's Worth."
Hey, what can I say -- I love those gals. Anybody have any idea why they don't tour? I mean, I think they'd do very well if they came to NYC, but obviously I'm prejudiced.
Their only drawback is their original material is not as strong as their cover material.

I think they want to keep it in the family. But yeah, I'm sure they could do clubs on the west coast. LA Weekly would support them.

Not sure they could justify the expense of a US tour, but I'd love to see them live.
