The Watson Twins

Boaz hangs out with Chandra and Leigh Watson, (of The Watson Twins), as they discuss some of their earliest masterpieces, the touring life, and their upcoming album.

According to their website:
The Watson Twins, Chandra and Leigh, were raised in the rolling hills of Louisville, Kentucky. In 1998, with an atlas and a pick-up truck, they found themselves in Los Angeles playing and recording with notable Silverlake bands (Rilo Kiley, Earlimart, Orphan Train, etc.) From this inspiring time grew the songs of The Watson Twins.

In Fall 2005, The Watson Twins recorded with Jenny Lewis on her first solo record, “Rabbit Fur Coat” (Team Love). Joining the red haired songstress from Tokyo to Berlin, through the US and back again, the girls enchanted each sold out audience with their soaring choruses and angelic sound.

In Fall 2006, The Watson Twins began promoting their own self released EP "Southern Manners"; a collection of melancholy, intimate songs created with a raw, soulful approach. These songs embody the traditional soul, gospel and country harmonies that surrounded their youth. This introspective and inspired approach puts them in an Indie Folk Rock category and compares them with the likes of: Neko Case, Emmy Lou Harris, Lucinda Williams and Cat Power. Songs from this record have been featured on Grey’s Anatomy, The Sundance Film Festival website and independent film soundtracks.

Hi,

I would like the Watson Twins to really sing as a duo in something newish.  Backdrop music a mixture of Bach, beethoven and Mozart with a hint of Strauss.

Wonderful pop mixed with pop classic will sell millions.  Wish I could join you to form a trio; I do have a beautiful singing voice.  I am Asiatic born in Mombassa, Kenya.  Great musical company or associates will be welcome.  I need extra coaching or lessons to be a good professional in musical terms.

I wish to really join a good singing music group of composing musicians or pop artists.

Thank you.

Miss Zulekha M B Salloo
