independent music awards



Saturday March 14, 2009

The spirit and success of independent music is stronger and louder than ever. Hundreds of artists, who don't fit in with the ever-narrowing radio formats, are none-the-less breaking through to a hungry public and winning the support of fans, media and tastemakers across the nation. These artists will be honoured at the public presentation of the 9th Annual Independent Music Awards show, simply titled "The Indies".
