  Australia’s 23-year-old twin sisters Lisa and Jessica Origliasso, known as The Veronicas, unleash new album “Hook Me Up.”
   The Veronicas new album “Hook Me Up” originated in Los Angeles where The Veronicas worked with many hit makers.  Shelly Peiken (Christina Aguilera), John Feldmann (Good Charlotte, The Used), Gregg Wells (Mika) and Billy Steinberg (Madonna) collaborated with The Veronicas to produce the album marked with electro beats.

   The Veronicas conquered the land down under when they appeared in a fall 2005 promotional campaign for Choice Calvin Klein and sang the title song for the WB show “Related.” In March, the album's first single "4Ever" was featured in the Amanda Bynes comedy “She's the Man”, as well as on the soundtrack.

   On October 16, 2008 The Veronicas announced the Revenge Is Sweeter Tour, which begins Feb. 13, 2009 in Newcastle and continues for seven other dates concluding in Perth on Feb. 28, 2009 with the show being supported by Metro Station and Short Stack.
