Bands Under The Radar (BUTR)

Miss Li may be one of the biggest artists you have never heard of. She’s a Swedish singer-singer who’s singles have been featured on all your favorite TV shows (Weeds, Desperate Housewives, Grey’s Anatomy) and in commercials for Apple’s iPod Nano 5G, White House Black Market, and the popular UK furniture store DFS.

It’s hard to belief she didn’t start making music and playing the piano until 2006, and since then has released 7 full-length albums! Known for her jazzy, uptempo pop sound, Miss Li has that God-given talent for writing infectious hooks that will urge you to put the song on repeat. Her single “My Heart Goes Boom” released in Sweden in 2012 became an instant hit.

Watch the video below and get the single on BUTR Vol. 8: Songs About Love & Seduction. Look for Miss Li on tour this spring and hitting the summer festival circuit.

I’ve been working on this podcast for the last 3 weeks nonstop day and night listening to literally over a thousand bands to be able to predict and pick my favorite bands that will rock SXSW 2010 in Austin, TX this year.

A lot of the bands playing SXSW were featured in BUTR’s 100 songs for $10 promo or in past podcasts or are slated for future podcasts.  There’s so much good music coming out that I’m dying to share with you so let’s get this party started!

Below are BUTR’s 80 Top Picks that are playing SXSW this week.  Because I didn’t want the podcast to be 6 hours long, I picked 36 hot tracks that I’m in love with right now that I haven’t played for you yet from my list of 80 bands that are all must-hear artists.

I will come back from Austin with a full report on what bands where killer live so stay tuned.  In the meantime let me know what tracks you are loving.  Download the podcast on iTunes or just push play below.  Hit me up if will be in Austin and tell me what your digging.

Oh and if you have an iPhone/iPod Touch or a phone on Google’s Android platform, then you can download a free BUTR app and get new hand-picked music from BUTR delivered to you every week that you can listen to anytime on-demand!  Just search for BUTR in your app store.
