About shishi

Consisting of three “mermaids” known only as Benedetta, Victoria, and Teresa, shishi blends surf rock with punk and riot grrrl influences, resulting in an eco-conscious sound that is as dynamic as it is introspective. Their journey began with three vocalists picking up instruments they’d never played, leading to their debut album NAx80 in 2018, quickly followed by Mafitishei in 2020 under The state51 Conspiracy label. shishi’s latest release, Nearly Happily Ever After (2022), dives deep into the angst and chaos of modern life, tackling everything from familial struggles to societal burnout.

Known for a raw sound that recalls bands like La Luz, Hole, and Delta 5, shishi’s music resonates with listeners who care about the state of the world—even if they’re not entirely sure what’s happening within it. From existentialism to “gloomy birthdays,” shishi’s performances promise an experience that is equal parts chaotic, energetic, and cathartic.

Don’t miss the chance to catch shishi live and experience surf music reimagined from the heart of Lithuania.
