Karkwa win Polaris Prize
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 21 September 2010
So, Karkwa last night won the Polaris Prize, which is basically a Canadian version of the Mercury Prize. The indie rockers from Montreal beat Caribou, The Besnard Lakes, Tegan And Sara and Broken Social Scene to win the twenty grand prize money with their album ‘Les Chemins De Verre’.
On winning the prize, the band said: “That’s weird, that’s very strange. We’re holding a cheque for $20,000 and we don’t understand anything”.
