Miesha Louie fell in love with punk/garage music when she was a self-described angsty teen living in Invermere, B.C. She sought out like-minded kids in school who shared her interest, forming bands and booking community hall shows. She eventually brought her talent and ambition to Calgary, where she honed her craft and is now mentoring others.

“It’s really freeing, being onstage and sharing your art and your music and your experiences, and having that reflected in the audience,” she says. “And so there’s just this reciprocal energy going back and forth and getting bigger, there’s really just nothing like it. It’s a super special experience.”

From the moment they kicked off their set, it was evident that this wasn’t going to be just another gig; it was going to be an experience. The venue pulsed with an electric energy as Miesha & The Spanks unleashed their signature brand of rip-roaring, loud garage rock. The duo’s performance was nothing short of mesmerizing, transporting the audience to a sonic realm that was both exhilarating and intoxicating.
