The Twigs, aka Twigs, are twin sisters and musician/singer/songwriters Laura Good and Linda Good. Raised in Chicago, by way of Ohio and Mexico City, the twins are self-taught musicians who learned piano, guitar and songwriting by studying Beatles songs. Using their childhood nickname "Twigs" as their band name, the duo has released four albums.[1] Their songs have appeared in film and television shows including "Love, Love, Love (Remix)" in Cruel Intentions 3 (Sony Pictures) and "Oh Mary" in Men in Trees (ABC). After being a well-known part of the alternative pop scene in Chicago,[2] they moved to California in 2000, which launched their careers as songwriters and producers, and where the LA Weekly described them as, "...Silky voiced sirens with universal appeal."[3] Linda toured separately as a keyboardist/backup singer with such notable acts as Jane's Addiction, The Mars Volta, Lisa Marie Presley, and Bitter:Sweet, while still co-writing with Laura on Twigs projects. They released a CD of rock/pop songs especially for children, Jump Right In in 2013.[4] They are currently based out of Los Angeles, CA and Virginia.
