Misun, a DC threesome churning out nostalgic-soaked electro-pop tunes, is a thoroughly sunny band. Their music is the kind that immediately and unfailingly makes you wish you were riding around town with your windows down and your sunglasses on, which you obviously can't do right now, especially if you live on the East Coast like they do. But that's exactly what makes them such a perfect choice for your headphones right now. Winter is sad; Misun's debut album, which dropped a few weeks ago, is not. Frontlady Misun Wojcik has a jangly, dreamy voice that sounds straight out of the '60s (even my dad says so), and she has a personal style—especially when it comes to performing—to match. With her platinum blonde hair in a retro pony and swinging mini skirts that bounce right along with her on stage, she's giving off major Nancy Sinatra vibes. Don't worry, though; she has a whole lot more talent to back it up. Check it out for yourself when they swing through your town on tour. Here's what they'll be bringing along when they set out.
NACEY'S SIOUXIE AND THE BANSHEES T
"It's nice to have a go-to t-shirt when you can't figure out what you want to wear for a show. Nacey wore this one really for the majority of our shows last year. It's got a nostalgic feel-good factor associated with it, and he got it at Crooked Beat Records in our hometown of DC."
MAD LIBS
"Driving for long periods of time (10+ hours) gets SUPER BORING. Our favorite time-killer is the Mad Libs app. We all have potty mouths when it comes to this game (who doesn't?!) and it's a solid way to keep things fun and light on the road."
JON'S BLUE COOLER
We bring our drummer Jon's blue cooler with us every time we get out of town. Jon's an IPA kinda guy, but for pre-show drinking everyone can always agree on ice cold silver bullets.
IPOD AUX CABLE
"One of the best parts of being on tour is seeing nature while listening to music. We took this picture in Northern California while blasting Beach House with our windows down. It was a psychedelic experience we won't forget."
HAIR ACCESSORIES
"The bigger Misun's hair is, the better. It's a challenge to style in hotel rooms, so she has a few things on hand that keep her hair huge at all times: a comb, hairspray, and a beaded hair bracelet which was a gift from Nacey's mom."
WHITE CONVERSE HIGH-TOPS
"This year at SXSW everybody got free Converse shoes from the Fader Fort. Now they're Misun's go-to shoes. She loves those bad boys—they're completely white so they've been cleaned a few times with a toothbrush and toothpaste—and they are still hanging in there."
