David Dallas

Something Awesome has been announced as one of the 5 finalists for the inaugural Taite Music Prize. More info about the prize:

The concept for the Taite music prize has taken inspiration from successful international music prize formats such as the Mercury Prize in the U.K., the AMP in Australia, The Prix Constantin in France and the Polaris Music Prize in Canada.

The prize purpose is to recognize outstanding creativity for an entire collection of music contained on one album.

In our inaugural year a New Zealand artist or group will be awarded The Taite Music Prize, receiving a cash prize in acknowledgment of the best full length New Zealand album released in 2009, regardless of genre, sales or record label.

Finalists:

• David Dallas – Something Awesome
• The Checks – Alice by the Moon
• Keretta – Vilayer
• Lawrence Arabia – Chant Darling
• Shapeshifter – The System is a Vampire

Flattering stuff, shouts to the other finalists. Oh yeah, if you catch Nightline tonight you might see a quick interview with your boy.
