Loki's Folly
Sisu
Translucent yellow vinyl. Loki's Folly is an indie-punk trio comprised of two young sisters and their kid brother from South Minneapolis who like to play loud music that makes them happy. The youthful trio make a very big sound that is all their own that pulls you into their private world. It is a universe where influences like Sleater Kinney meet the tradition of Swedish Kulning in the best possible way. Annie (age 21) plays guitar and sings, Nissa (age 16) plays the drum set and sings and Oskar (age 11) plays the bass. Their energetic and passionate live shows have been garnering a devoted fan base from long-time Minnesota musicians. Soul Asylum, Run Westy Run, Haley, The Melismatics, Ryan and Pony, and Porcupine have all put them on local shows over the past two years. Dave Pirner (Soul Asylum) even appears as a guest guitarist on their track "Appease the Girl." They were also included in First Avenue's Best New Bands showcase and have gone on to do a national tour with legendary band Shellac. "Loki's Folly have a playful and quirky quality that isn't quite like anything you've heard before. I'm going to attribute how unique the song is to their ages. Not because they haven't learned how to play music, but more because they haven't learned how not to play. It's such an odd but fun arrangement of music. If I have to compare Loki's Folly to anyone, I would say it's a mash up of Jonathan Richman, Beat Happening, and the Shaggs."- If It's Too Loud For Fans of: The Linda Lindas, illuminati hotties, the Shaggs, Bikini Girl, Sleater Kinney, Sonic Youth, Riot grrrl.
