Where have all the riot grrrls gone? You ask – Miesha & The Spanks answer. If you’ve got a yearning for flashy yet classic hard rock, look no further – this Calgary-based duo has the sound that you’ve been seeking.
A modern singer/guitarist, frontwoman Miesha Louie is the integral driving force behind Miesha & The Spanks. A mixed-Secwépemc artist living in Treaty 7 Territory, she’s devoted her entire career to inventing and playing instrumentally brilliant melodies that unleash her full-throated vocal tones.
Percussionist Sean Hamilton is her psychic counterpart, intuitively punctuating her soulful choruses with a pounding intensity simultaneously that elevates heartrates and ceiling rafters.
From their inception, Miesha & The Spanks has chronicled their ascent through a post-punk modernist lens that speaks of a love affair with early-nineties underground and grunge bands.
Regardless of the venue, Louie’s vocals and Hamilton’s beats culminate in a stage presence that is as remarkably solid as it is wild – and we’re eager to see them at the NAC.
