Butterflies Radio @IndieViews Artist Spotlight, featuring The Shy Lips - 4/8/2013

This week's guest is the Swedish band, The Shy Lips.

The Shy Lips were the MSI:Labs Hit List Artist of the month for March. The band of five guys from Gothenburg, Sweden formed in 2012 and released their first album just three months after creating the band.

According to their SoundCloud profile; "The band was the brainchild of singer Adam and bassist Victor, born on the travels in Europe and South America where the two met and bonded - and the band became a reality when they moved to the vibrant music city of Gothenburg. After hooking up with drummer Anton and guitarist Alex and later joined by Adam's brother Jonas on guitar, the band now had members originating from Morocco, Poland and Sweden."

Butterflies Radio @IndieViews Artist Spotlight, featuring Kaila Picard - 4/1/2013

This week's guest is Kaila Picard, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Kaila performs a unique style of music, which she describes as "Bohemian Disco," fusing disco, soul, pop and blues. She is also the band leader for an 8-piece band and used to be a synchronized swimmer.

Kaila grew up in Montreal but moved to Toronto to study Jazz. She later discovered that the music scene in Toronto didn't match up to her style of music and returned to Montreal where she has found the perfect fit.

On April 9th she will host an album launch party for her newest release, at Le Belmont sur le Boulevard in Montreal. If you would like to attend the event ($5 tickets), RSVP here. 

Kaila is not afraid to let her self-described quirky and slightly dorky persona shine throug her material and stage show. While studying jazz in Montreal, she dove into the city's nightlife. "I grew a bad girl edge, and that experience gave me soul, and a dark place to write from," she says on her Reverbnation profile.
