The Drones, Eddy Current and Beaches make it onto Australian Music Prize shortlist

Eddy Current Suppression Ring

The shortlist for the 2008 Australian Music Prize (Da AMP) was officially announced this morning...

  • 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

It's probably no secret who we think should get the award.

As in previous years the winning band/artist will take home a MASSIVE pile of cold hard ca$h (30,000 big ones!). A secondary prize for 'outstanding potential' will also be awarded, with the recipient taking home $15,000. What financial crisis?

The winner will be announced on March 13.

sometimes it works out when you let "news" lapse so long before you report it.
