The Shining Twins Interview
by Alison on August 14, 2010
Every guy's dream: twins. How about cute, fun and badass twins? Even better. The Shining Twins, Alex Weiss and Marisa Kreiss, look sweet (and they are!) but are definitely rocking the East Village harder than any group out there. The girls were nice enough to take a break from playing music and breaking hearts to talk to me about the band and much more.
Alison: How did The Shining Twins come together?
The Shining Twins: We figured that first, we needed some sort of excuse to be hooking up with so many dudes in bands, and second, that we could probably start a cooler band, therefore being able to hook up with even more dudes.
A: Rock music is typically a male-dominated field. As females, what obstacles and challenges have you faced or overcame while pursuing a career in this industry?
TST: Let's just say it's way harder to be taken seriously when you have titz.
A: Where do you draw inspiration for your songs?
TST: People who have fucked us over, people we've fucked over, people we've fucked, and just everyday thingz like that. Pretty much all the shit we complain out.
A: What bands and/or tracks are currently on repeat for you lately?
TST: The Damned, The Lemonheads, and Thee Headcoatees "Come Into My Mouth."
A: In what ways are you similar and act like twins? How do you differ?
TST: Well, Marisa's 4'11" and Alex is 5'8". Alex has blue eyes and Marisa has brown. Other than that, and our 18 month age difference, we're pretty much exactly the same!!
A: What’s your favorite horror film and why?
TST: ....The Shining. Because the twins are us? And who doesn't like twins?
A: What are your plans for the future?
TST: Alex is probably going to settle down with our producer, Mikki James, pop out a few kids and move to his family's farm in Connecticut. Marisa would love to star in American Idiot on Broadway. We'll probably also try to put out our record sometime before that, and go on tour.
