Miesha Louie has been making music for over a decade now and as the band name suggests, has always been the main driving force behind it. Miesha and the Spanks, has gone through many lineup changes over the years, but Miesha seems to have found the perfect musical partner in drummer, Sean Hamilton – who’s been with her for the past five years. When setting out to make this EP, Miesha and Sean initially wanted to tone back their punky roots and write songs that would be more radio-friendly, which is why they brought the project to Americana legend, Leeroy Stagger to produce it. However, Leeroy decided the best thing to do would be to turn everything up – way up - and we are left with what might be the bands loudest work yet.
I caught up with Miesha via zoom, to discuss the new EP, and the making of it, and how her and Sean came to meet and why their musical partnership just works.
