Miesha and The Spanks are back in Kamloops with local buds MINX! Doors 7:30pm // Music 8pm $20 Adv // $25 Door Where have all the riot grrrls gone? You ask – Miesha &amp; The Spanks answer. If you’ve got a yearning for flashy yet classic hard rock, look no further – this Calgary-based duo has the guitar hero-worshipping, face melting, whisky belting sound that you’ve been seeking. A modern singer/guitarist and beloved fixture on the local scene, frontwoman Miesha Louie is the integral driving force behind Miesha &amp; 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 passions and her full-throated vocal tones. As a result, Miesha &amp; The Spanks have become a tighter and more muscular version of themselves with each new release. Miesha’s riffs are as quintessentially rock as they come. Her anarchic, femme-powered vibes causing audiences to erupt in devil-horn-raising celebration of razor-sharp hooks delivered with fire and flare. Percussionist Sean Hamilton (an accomplished singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist in his own right) is her psychic counterpart, intuitively punctuating her soulful choruses with a pounding intensity that simultaneously elevates heart rates and ceiling rafters. From their inception, Miesha &amp; 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. 2021 Nominees for Rock Artist of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards, the proudly DIY outfit packs a sound befitting a group from Portland or Seattle. With a resume that boasts performing as direct support to Queens Of The Stone Age, Death From Above 1979, Hot Snakes, Propagandhi, Pack AD, White Lung, Reignwolf and countless others, Miesha &amp; The Spanks can be seductive and stirring, or gritty and urgent depending on what the situation calls for. Whether entertaining the heavier/doomier crowd or belting out epic rock heartbreakers, their musical journeys remain firmly grounded in punchy riffs and catchy choruses. With all of this poetic leather-jacket wickedness in its prime, comparisons are inevitable; Kim Gordon; PJ Harvey, Joan Jett, Melissa Auf der Maur, Sleater-Kinney, St. Vincent – you get the idea – it’s all expected, but never taken for granted. Naturally gifted with a knack for relentlessly channeling the garage rock greats of yore, Miesha &amp; The Spanks prefer to be perfectly frank. They don't shy away from the darkness. Armed with a black sense of humour and a serious howl. Nothing is beyond their grasp. Their next full album “Unconditional Love In Hi-Fi” will be released on Mint Records on April 14 this year. +++++++&nbsp;“infectious production smashes down our self-doubts and urges us to dream as big as we &nbsp;want.” - EARMILK&nbsp;“a sizeable dosage of feel-good vibes peppered with a dash of teenage angst” - Wonderland &nbsp;Magazine&nbsp;&nbsp;“...blistering guitar work and motorik drum fills” - Northern Transmissions&nbsp; “Gritty, grungy, rock.” - Alan Cross
