The Veronicas Tour Dates, “Take Me On The Floor” Video

Posted: 09 Jun 2009 09:52 AM PDT

The Veronicas are embarking on a summer tour and I would encourage you to head to a show and check them out if they happen to be performing in a location near you. 

The twin sisters, Jessica and Lisa Origliasso (no they are not actually both named Veronica!), hail from Brisbane, Australia and have combined electropop and pop rock into an award-winning combination. 

When asked about their band name they explained that, while they were watching the movie, Heathers,  Christian Slater asks Winona Ryder's character (who they described as a "cool, unique chick with an attitude"), "Are you a Heather?" to which she replies "No, I’m a Veronica."  cool, unique chick with an attitude."

After the 2005 success of their debut album, The Secret Life of…, they followed up with Hook Me Up which was released in 2007.  The title track because their first number one single in Australia!  They have released the video for their most recent single "Take Me On the Floor" which I find completely infectious.  Watch it here:
