National Live Music Awards 2017 TASmanian Nominees

9/10/2017

Gosh! Are the National Live Music Awards here already? Seems like it was only yesterday we were celebrating the 2016 winners. Edge Radio has the pleasure of announcing the nominees for Tasmania. Not familiar with the NMLAs? Here's a quick rundown of what you're in for...

"​The National Live Music Awards (NLMAs) are a broad recognition of Australia’s diverse and successful live industry, celebrating the diversity and success of the Australian live scene – recognising the best vocal talents and musicians alongside the best venues, events and festivals.
​
The awards contain both national and state focused categories, voted on by the live industry (including fellow musicians, media, venues, bookers), with select public voted categories. The national awards will be revealed at a gala event, while the State and Territory awards will be revealed at satellite events in their respective capital cities. The first annual event was held on 29th November 2016, and the second annual event will be held on 7th December 2017."


Sounds pretty damn awesome doesn't it?  This year the NMLAs has 54 categories, recognising the best musicians, venues, events and industry members from all corners of Australia. But before we get onto all the details of the Tasmanian nominees let's take a bit of a look at some interesting facts from a national perspective about this year's awards.

A few fun facts about the awards:
  • This is the first time the event has been held in Fremantle, Alice Springs or Launceston.
  • There are two new awards this year: Best Pop Act and Best Country or Folk Act. 
  • The All Ages Achievement (AAA) Award, which recognises an individual or organisation who supports and fosters all ages events, has expanded from NSW to Victoria thanks to The Push. 
A few awards have changed their names:
  • "The Heatseeker Award" is now "The Best New Act presented by Young Henrys", though the award is still given to an artist who has exploded over the last 12 months. 
  • The "Hard Rock or Metal" genre category has been shortened to just "Hard Rock", however this encompasses a wide range of genres including Punk, Metal and Hard Rock. 
  • The previous "Roots" award is now the "Blues & Roots" award, with Country and Folk nominees given their own category for the first time.

THE TL;DR:
  • Gender Balance: A whopping 63% of the artists nominated in the national categories, and 51% in the State/Territory Categories, are either female or are a group led by a female vocalist. 
  • Strong Indigenous representation, with nominated artists including Electric Fields, Kardajala Kirridarra, Dan Sultan, The Lonely Boys, Tjupi Band, Eleanor Dixon, Yirrmal, William Barton and A.B. Original.
  • Gang of Youths lead the nominees with 6 nominations.
  • Julia Jacklin, Amy Shark, Camp Cope sit right behind with 5 nominations.
  • All Our Exes Live in Texas, Stella Donnelly and the St Jerome's Laneway Festival all have 4 nominations.
