The Veronicas is a band consisting of identical twin sisters Jessica Louise Origliasso and Lisa Marie Origliasso (born December 25, 1984 in Brisbane, Australia). The Veronicas currently live in Los Angeles, California, United States.
Their name is borrowed from the 1989 movie Heathers and its main character, Veronica Sawyer, who, when asked if she is a Heather (ie. part of the popular girls clique), responds, “No, I’m a Veronica.”
Born to Italian (Sicilian) parents on Christmas Day 1984, they grew up in Albany Creek, (northwest of Brisbane, Australia) where they attended Ferny Grove State High School and Wavell State High School. At an early age the girls expressed interest in performing; they participated with small local papers in shows on television, radio and horses.
The girls were picked up by Warner Bros. Records/Reprise Records’ Sire Records label in 2004, for a reported sum of 2 million dollars. The girls write their own songs, and have also written songs for other artists like t.A.T.u.’s “All About Us” and Australian Idol winners Casey Donovan’s “
What’s Going On” & Kate DeAraugo’s “Faded”.
The Veronicas dislike being called a female duo. “We like being called a band or group. We don’t want to be a pop duo group with two girls singing about relationships, we have everything that a rock band would have, so we are a band,” says Lisa. The rest of the band consists of:
Jungle George - Guitar
