Jaegermeister Independent Music Awards

Now in their seventh year, The JAGERMEISTER INDEPENDENT MUSIC AWARDS is an opportunity for Australian labels, artists and the Industry at large to celebrate the successes of some of the country’s most vibrant and eclectic artists.
With a diverse pool of representatives voting this year, from online media, music press, broadcasters, independent music industry representatives and artists themselves, the results will truly reflect the opinions of the collective Independent Music Scene.

Presented and produced by The Australian Independent Record Labels Association (AIR), the awards will take place at Revolt Art Space in Kensington. Along with presenting partner Jagermeister, this event is proudly supported by Nova Radio and airline partner Virgin Australia, and will once again reward the country’s highest achieving independent artists across all genres.

With yet another extraordinary year for Independent Artists unfolding, from the global success of Gotye, The Jezabels, and The Temper Trap, to local domination by artists such as Lanie Lane, The Bamboos and Husky, the 2012 crop of Artists look set to raise the bar even higher.

Awards to be presented during the evening include Best Independent Dance / Electronic Release, Best Independent Artist, Best Independent Hip Hop/Urban Release and Best Independent Hard Rock/Punk Release among others. 2012 also sees the addition of a new category for Best Australian Independent Label, which is an award that recognises the companies that make Independent music in Australia what it is. Voted for by their Record Label peers, this award is the essence of what AIR is about. Once again the Awards will be staged in the 500 capacity room at Revolt, a venue recognized as one of Melbourne’s finest performing Art Spaces. and plans for this year’s production promise to deliver an even more unforgettable event.

After the resounding success of last years photographic exhibition by Kane Hibberd, the twin-spaces of the Revolt Art gallery and venue will play host once again to a collection of the finest independent music photographs from the past 12 months.
