Performing under the name Sissy Wish, Bergen-based Siri Ålberg wears Chucks and leotards on stage, sports a fierce bob, performs tap dance solos, and sings like a banshee approximation of Betty Boop. Obviously, she's got the pop-star image thing down, but more importantly, she and her band craft indie pop songs with an exaggerated sense of motion and movement, drawing from a range of sources: Siouxise & the Banshees, Cyndi Lauper, Karen O, Devo. Ålberg plays them to the rafters, insistent and intense.
