2008 S.D.M.A Award Nominees

[Kristin of Grand Ole Party]























We don't really believe in the whole "award" bullshit, it seems it's usually a politically motivated ass-kiss fest, yet this year's nominees include a few artists that are truly worthy of the accolades and didn't really smootch any glutes...


The award ceremony is at The Park @Viejas Outlet Center on Wednesday, September 17th-7PM with performances by As I Lay Dying, Louis XIV, Jayo Felony, Steve Poltz & The Cynics, Joel Rafael and Anya Marina. A special performance by Lifetime Award Winner Mundell Lowe will also be on the playbill.



Vote for your favourites HERE.


[The voting option isn't up on their webste yet but should be available in a few days. Unfortunately there are several categories that are only voted for by some mysterious SDMA "committee," hence the above reference to ass kissing.]
