AMP postponed because of Sound Relief
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 10 March 2009
The Australian Music Prize, sort of an Aussie Mercury Music Prize, will now be presented on 20 Mar, and not this Friday as originally planned, so as not to clash with the Sound Relief concerts, two big fundraisers taking place in Sydney and Melbourne this weekend to raise money for the victims of the Victoria bushfire and Queensland flood victims.
As we may or may not have previously reported, the shortlist for this year’s prize is as follows…
The Presets – Apocalypso
Beaches – Beaches
The Drones – Havilah
Cut Copy – In Ghost Colours
CW Stoneking – Jungle Blues
Jack Ladder – Love Is Gone
Tom Cooney – Presque Vu
Eddy Current Suppression Ring – Primary Colours
Ross McLennan – Sympathy For the New World
