Lisa Beat and The Liars is an Italian band from Ancona since 2016.
They have released three records, the first two under the moniker "Lisa Beat e i Bugiardi" by the Italian label Area Pirata Records and the last, in 2023, by the Portuguese Chaputa! Records, obtaining excellent reviews and social feedback.
They play a set list of original arrangements rooted in the Rhythm and Blues and Rock'n'Roll of the early '60s, following the "Mersey Beat" style played at the Cavern Club in Liverpool.
The atmospheres and sounds are typical of that era when the purpose of live bands was to entertain the audience by performing fun-filled, danceable, and easy-on-the-ears standards enriched by the right amount of personality.
SHEENA IS A BEAT ROCKER (2023)
7"/45RPM Vinyl - Chaputa! Records
This brand new record is their first with English lyrics and represents a shift towards a more international sound.
On the A side, the title track is a fun-filled Mersey Beat style rearrangement of one of the most popular Ramones' songs: “Sheena is a Punk Rocker” and you will hear about Sheena who has moved from NYC to 60s' misty Liverpool to became a real Beat Rocker. But rather than going to the Discothèque À-Go-Go with their surfboards, here The Kids go to the Marquee Club in Soho with their Rickenbackers and perform some great swinging tunes!
On the B side "Italian Sun" is based on the 60s' classic "California Sun" and it's a tribute to the origin of the band: an invite to ride your Lambretta and spend your summer holidays traveling up and down the peninsula under the warm Italian sun. And yes, this song too has been recorded with that early Mersey Beat sound that is so inspiring for the band.
And because 3 is the perfect number, there is a bonus track: the “Liars" version of “Little Latin Lupe Lu”, released with their first 7" and a perennial hit with show-goers everywhere.

LA DECIMA VITTIMA (2022)
7"/45RPM Vinyl - Area Pirata Records
After the positive reviews and the sold-out debut EP, Lisa Beat and her Liars are back with three dancing, easy-on-the-ears songs: two originals and a cover.
Side A features "Sole" (Sun) which echoes the 60s soul atmospheres thanks to a trumpet section. On the B side another original: "Io non esisto più" (I Don't Exist Anymore), which is closer in style to the 60s' Italian Beat.
And last but not least, the title track! "La Decima Vittima" (The 10th Victim) is an instrumental cover of "Miss Augusta" by the Italian band "MiniVIP" arranged in "Spy Story" style.
The cover art is curated by Max Galli, renowned author of comics influenced by the Mod 60s era: the muse on the cover is inspired by the look of "Olga" (Elsa Martinelli) in "La Decima Vittima", an iconic 1965 movie by Elio Petri starring Marcello Mastroianni and Ursula Andress, to which this "liar" record is paying homage.

DAL TRAMONTO ALL'ALBA (2020)
7"/45RPM Vinyl - Area Pirata Records
In 2020 Lisa Beat and her Bugiardi are releasing a fun-filled 7" containing two originals and one cover inspired by that sound: from the garage style à La Mark and The Mysterians (Dal Tramonto All’Alba - From Dusk Till Dawn) to the Soul-infused, trumpet section driven (Inutile Piangere - No Use Crying) and the primordial Mersey Beat (Little Latin Lupe Lu).
