 rock duo\, Miesha and the Spanks will grace the stage of the Fox Cabaret a
 long with Vancouver singer-songwriter Francis Baptiste on Thursday\, Novem
 ber 5\, brought together by VIM curator\, programmer\, musician and commun
 ity organizer Rob Thomson (Haida).\nSinger/guitarist and beloved fixture o
 n the vast global musical landscape\, front-woman Miesha Louie is the driv
 ing force behind Miesha and The Spanks\, supported by her psychic counterp
 art\, percussionist\, accomplished singer/ songwriter Sean Hamilton — in
 tuitively punctuating her soulful choruses with a pounding intensity that 
 elevates heart rates and ceiling rafters.\nA mixed-Secwépemc artist livin
 g in Treaty 7 Territory\, Miesha is devoted to inventing and playing instr
 umentally brilliant melodies that unleash her passions and full-throated v
 ocal tones. With a serious dose of spirit and charisma\, Miesha makes ever
 y song resonate with her own jagged signature. Whether confronting raw sub
 jects or slaying misogyny\, each song is a sonic statement mastering the n
 oisy with a no-nonsense approach.\nTheir latest album “Unconditional Lov
 e In Hi-Fi” was released on Mint Records\, commanding great success on S
 irius XM stations\, The Verge and Indigiverse\; support from Calgary local
  FM Rock-Alternative X92.9\, CBC Radio 3\, and alt-commercial and campus s
 tations across Canada\; and chart success on Mediabase\, Indigenous Music 
 Countdown\, Earshot!\, NACC Canada\, CBC Radio 3 and Breaking Alt.\nTheir 
 last release cycle took them across Canada and into the US\, UK\, Germany\
 , Sweden\, and Poland. Recent highlights include the Burt Block Party with

 ing at Different Sounds Festival in Poland as part of Keychange.\nComparis
 ons are inevitable\; Kim Gordon\; PJ Harvey\, Joan Jett\, Melissa Auf der 
 Maur\, Sleater-Kinney\, St. Vincent – all expected\, never taken for gra
 nted. Perfectly frank\, Miesha and the Spanks don’t shy away from the da
 rkness. With a dark sense of humour and a serious howl\, nothing is beyond
  their grasp. https://mieshaandthespanks.net/\nDescribed by CBC as “unsp
 aringly candid” and “lushly hypnotic”\, Syilx songwriter\, Francis B
 aptiste covers topics of cultural reclamation\, addiction\, and fatherhood
