It's That Time Of Year Again...

Hey guys and gals. I'm Ned Hepburn, your official awards blogger. Let's get started, shall we?
So. It's the beginning of September, so you know what that means. We're just six weeks away from possibly the greatest awards show of all time: the 2011 Jaegermeister Music Awards. How cool is that? Cooler than the other side of the pillow, my friend. That cool.
Last year, the jaunty pop stylings of Dan Sultan and the John Butler Trio took the awards for Best Independent Artist and Most Popular Independent Artist, respectively. These days, they live like kings - but this time last year they were just like you and I. Which one of this years finalists will officially be crowned the reigning King (or Queen) of the Australian independent music scene? Will it be Adalita? The Jezabels? Abbe May? Or how about Heroes For Hire? Art Vs Science, Dream On Dreamer, or Little Red?
And who knows? Last year psych-folk'ers Cloud Control veritably swept the awards winning both Best Independent Song and Best Independent Album. Will Seekae have that honor this year with their unique cocktail of blissed out electro? Or will My Disco slay the ceremony with their winning angular guitar sound? You'll simply have to tune in to find out. That's the best part about the Jaegermeister Music Awards. Anything could happen. So sit back and relax. Or sit forward and get riled up. Either way, make sure to watch this space as very soon we'll be bringing you interviews and more from this years nominees, last years winners, record labels, and more.
Who do you want to see win? Put your answers in the comments!
