Calgary's Miesha & The Spanks formed in the early summer of 2008 as an amplified two-piece version of Miesha Louie's crooning acoustic side project. With songs coming from the same confessional heart, the music matured into the rock 'n' roll Louie had originally sought, with the help of rotating members of "The Spanks"- into the current arrangement of grit soul vocals, ringing sixties guitar, jangly shuffling drums, and wheezing Hammond organ.
