Thanks for translating Lisa’s reply Michael!
We want to keep this forum primarily English so in the future we’ll add a translation ourselves in cases like this one. It’s more fun for all that way 🙂
As mentioned, Blau Himmel (Blue Sky) basically asked if we would ever considering doing live concert streams and we said that it’s something we’ve thought about a lot and is definitely a possibility.
More updates on that when we’ve finished some of the more pressing projects and deadlines! We’ll definitely look into Stageit.com.
Groovy doesn’t really have its own word in German but most people would get what you mean if you used the English version. We use “that grooves” ( = das groovt) a lot amongst German musicians, which would be used instead of “that’s groovy”. 🙂

Hi Marcio!
You can download all albums for free here at the MLT Club! 🙂 Just head over to the Jukebox Page and click the orange button “download all albums” at the top or scroll down to download the individual albums.
If you are using a phone or mobile device the buttons won’t show up for you. We disabled them for phones due to the bigger file size and the awkward downloading process but as soon as you log on with your details on a PC, the buttons will appear.
Alternatively all albums are also available for purchase as downloads in the Store, but as mentioned, they are free for all MTL Club Members like you! 🙂

Well, I’d still love to be something that can fly although preferable something a little more … substantial than a fly. The problem with birds is that they can fly and all but don’t have thumbs and we all know how important those are. I would never be able to open any jars or shake anyone’s hand.
So what can fly and has thumbs? A bat maybe? I think by my own elimination method I have just found out that I want to be a bat. So I can fly and open tiny jars.

Hello, hello, helloooo!
So glad to see you here in the Club 🙂 We don’t hear from a lot of people that they came across our music through The 59th Street Bridge Song first, so that’s really interesting. We sure are glad you did!
We might have told you this before, but hearing from people that went through a similar thing than us while growing up, always is oddly exciting and … reassuring maybe? Being the only ones in a circle of friends “discovering” the Beatles/60’s music, tapping into an era and world “before our time”, and so on.
Regarding movies we have to disappoint you a litte. We’re absolutely rubbish when it comes to film knowledge. We’ve never been big movie watchers and regularly embarrass our friends by going “who?” or “I don’t get that quote …”. Yep, we’re the odd kids at the table that haven’t seen Star Wars. It’s just never something we made a whole lot of time for, and while we do appreciate the great movies out there, we still have a LONG list to catch up on. So let’s turn this question around … If you could recommend one classic movie, which one would it be? 😉 You’ve mentioned a few in your replies but which one would you start with?
I’m pretty sure you will have seen “Across The Universe” but if you haven’t yet … check it out! If you’re into documentaries, I would recommend “Searching For Sugar Man”, I’m sure you’ll love that one!
As for reading – I’ve only recently pushed myself to make time for that again. We both used to go through books faster than they could chop trees. But for the last ten years, again we just didn’t really take that much time for it. But I’m a big fantasy buff when it comes to reading and love long, complex stories and books so thick you could knock someone out with it. Things like “The Mists of Avalon”.
Anyway, we’re very happy to have you here and hope you’ll have a fun time at the MLT Club! 🙂 ❤

Thanks for your question and the lovely words, Joe!
As Howard mentioned I went into detail about why we cannot sell our cover songs as videos in a different topic, you can find it here.
When it comes to our original music that’s a different story. We were actually doing exactly what you suggested for our original album “When We’re Together” and are selling it as a CD and a DVD.
For our more recent album ORANGE, however, we have only released 3 videos so far and are not planning to make a video to every single song.
As much as we love putting visuals to our music and working on videos, we decided it is currently more important to work on new songs and more writing. It took us several years to finish all the videos for our debut album and there was a 5 year gap between our first and second original album. We don’t want to repeat that, and would rather create more music than spending too much time on too many videos for “older” songs.
That’s not to say that we won’t release any more songs off ORANGE as videos (in fact, I’m sure we will!) but we won’t work on another DVD for a while.
I like your suggestion though and if it wasn’t for the cover music problem mentioned in the other topic I’m sure we’d have a couple more DVDs out already!

Hi Marcio,
Welcome to the Club and to the forum! Last year we wrote a blog post called “Why Orange?” where we go into detail about the inspiration behind the name (spoiler: it came about after watching the Stanley Kubrick movie “Clockwork Orange”) and all the different aspects to it.
Feel free to read it here and let us know if you’re left with any questions! -
We never quite found out. We didn’t notice him at the time, only while watching back the footage and we’ve only seen him twice since. Once in the reflection of a spoon while eating tomato soup last winter and once when we took this picture:
Sorry we couldn’t be of more help. If we’ll ever come across him again we’ll let you know!

Simple answer: We have no idea and neither do our parents!
The doctors usually tell you when twins get born by looking at the placenta but in our case the doctor threw it away before he remembered to look – true story! (and sorry for the squeamish reading this!)
We could get it checked now by doing a DNA lab test for about £1000 but to be honest, even if it was cheaper I’m not sure we’d want to know. It’s not something that keeps us up at night and we like the mystery.
If we’d had to guess? That’s a tough one because we used to look much more alike than we do now. I’m pretty 50/50 on our chances but I’d bet a penny or two on us being identical.

Hi Steve,
As far as I know we’ve never been to Scarborough (although don’t quote me on that, we might have passed it on tour) but we did play a festival in Whitby a few years back. It was one of our first gigs after moving here and we thought the town and area to be absolutely gorgeous. We visited the abbey and tried to soak in as much of the atmosphere as we could before finishing the day with a rocking gig. Glad you got to spend some time there!

Hi Ademir,
A warm welcome from me and the rest! Despite the political madness everywhere, it seems like music can still bring us all together and that’s beautiful 🙂 We hope you’ll enjoy it here ♥

Hi there, Bill
We all have our personal story of how we first discovered the Beatles and the music we love. And every single one is unique and interesting – thanks for sharing yours!We are glad you joined us here and appreciate your support a lot! Have fun at the MLT Club 🙂

We knew from the start that we wanted to do a Zombies song, even before we decided to release the new albums and we thought “Time Of The Season” was a perfect one to try since we always LOVED the arrangement. Still tempted to do something off Odessey and Oracle but first it’s time for more originals.
I also just checked out People’s version of “I Love You” for the first time. It’s great!

I never quite know how to answer that question. That’s what parents must feel like when they get asked who their favourite child is (although I think in the case of our family it is quite clear that I am the favourite, but that’s an exception ;-)).
I usually say John or George but to be honest they have all been my pick at one point in time so it always changes. -
First of all thanks for ordering the two new albums! And yes, a Christmas record is definitely something we’ve thought about but there won’t be time to record and release a full album this year. We do have something really cool (hopefully!) planned for the holiday season though, especially for everyone in the MLT Club, so keep an eye out for that announcement! 😉

The longest one 😉
