So far 5 awards for Ladyhawke at the NZ Music Awards?
fuck off, seriously dude, i wont support shitty awards that are a PR stunt and a chance for a few select musos to get up on stage or go down the red carpet. no one cares if you have an award, and it isnt recognition by fans, its recognition by pr companies. highest selling single? most played song? be realistic. what is ur measure of success? being a band that people support, yes of course, but that isnt anything to do with awards. thats to do with a fan base, home made eps, downloading and listening from myspace and other music sharing forums, gigging, etc. look at the black seeds, and kora, and fly my pretties, they didnt need huge backing from ‘publicity’ to sell out shows and make the charts, word of mouth and their fans did that because they have a solid sound. with the money spent on that self indulgent shit called the nz music awards that just happened tonight, you could launch 4 new contracts, pay for an nz tour of at least 25 ‘unknown’ bands around the country. I’m for music, my friend. not for turning it into McMusic.
LADY. HAWKE.
Your argument is invalid.
