2012 JAGERMEISTER INDEPENDENT MUSIC AWARDS NOMINEES

October will see the Revolt art space in Kensington host the 7th annual Jagermeister Independent Music Awards! Supported by Nova and Virgin Airlines, the awards will honour the country's highest achieving independent artists; now into it's seventh year, the ceremony is also a great opportunity for Australian artists, labels and the industry in general to come together and celebrate the wealth of success the country's produced over the past year.

The 2011 Jagermeister Independent Music Awards was hosted in Melbourne this week at the Revolt warehouse in Kensington. The building was originally built in the 1800s and has kept its industrial interior design. Strung from the ceiling were hundreds of exposed light bulbs which made for a homely, fairylit backyard party on Wednesday night. Dylan Lewis - who hosted the awards - described the building as something you would usually find hidden in Berlin.

The 2011 JAGERMEISTER INDEPENDENT MUSIC AWARDS have wrapped up their sixth year delivering a superbly entertaining evening and bestowing 12 Awards on some of Australia’s finest talent, with The Jezabels the only multiple award winners, taking out 2 major honours.

Nominations for the sixth Annual JAGERMEISTER INDEPENDENT MUSIC AWARDS have officially been announced, and they include a stunning array of the country's brightest emerging artists, alongside established and respected performers, acknowledging yet another extraordinary year for Independent music.
