MEISHA AND THE SPANKS

A modern singer/guitarist and beloved fixture on the local scene, front-woman Miesha

Louie is the integral driving force behind Miesha and The Spanks, supported by her

psychic counterpart, percussionist Sean Hamilton (an accomplished singer/songwriter/

multi-instrumentalist in his own right) — intuitively punctuating her soulful choruses with

a pounding intensity that simultaneously elevates heart rates and ceiling rafters.

A mixed-Secwépemc artist living in Treaty 7 Territory, Miesha has devoted her entire

career to inventing and playing instrumentally brilliant melodies that unleash her

passions and full-throated vocal tones. With a serious dose of spirit and charisma in her

back pocket Miesha is ready to throw down and make every song resonate with her

own jagged signature. Confronting raw subjects and creating a legacy of slaying

misogyny, each of the duo’s songs are a sonic statement that masters the noisy

by applying a no-nonsense approach.

Their latest album “Unconditional Love In Hi-Fi” was released on Mint Records, and saw

great success on Sirius XM stations The Verge and Indigiverse, as well as support from

Calgary local FM Rock-Alternative X92.9, CBC Radio 3, and alt-commercial and

campus stations across Canada, accumulating chart success on Mediabase,

Indigenous Music Countdown, Earshot!, NACC Canada, CBC Radio 3, and Breaking

Alt. They were also awarded the 2024 Breakout Artist of the Year at the Western

Canadian Music Awards.
