Go Betty Go

I originally found this band off of the soundtrack to the video game "Burnout 3: Takedown". They're now one of my favorites!

Led by singer Emily Wynne-Hughes, Go Betty Go features an all chick-lineup... kind of rare in alternative rock these days. Not a whole lot of back story behind them - they're based out in Phoenix, and occasionally dabble below the border to incorporate Spanish into a few of their tracks. As of now, they have 2 albums out - "Nothing is More" and "Worst Enemy". All in all I feel the tracks are fairly hit or miss, but the ones that hit are without a doubt some of my favorites!

Some tracks to try:

"C'Mon"
"The Pirate Song"
"Donde Voy"

Fun fact as well - singer Emily Hughes tried out for season 8 of American Idol... she made it through to Hollywood, causing a ton of turn-up with the bandmates, as they had to skip a European Tour... probably the reason why we haven't heard from them in a while... but I'll keep my hopes up!

Blog Purpose

Hello readers!

As the title suggests, this blog will feature information about a new alternative rock band every day (at least I hope, sometimes I may miss a few days). I am the alternative music director at my local radio station, and am always getting new demos from unsigned bands that really deserve a listen. I hope to combine those with a lot of popular mainstream artists, and give you all a bit of background on the bands that supply some of your favorite music!

Occasionally (more often than not), I also receive demo CD's of the worst possible music you could ever imagine. On certain days (maybe I'll dedicate a day or two a week to this) I'll post some of that music, so we can all laugh at their fruitless attempts.

The action will start tomorrow... ta ta for now!
