Uber congrats to Sydney electro-heroes Grafton Primary (pictured) whose EP Relativity has just been nominated for two AIR Awards: Best Australian Independent Single/EP, and Best Australian Independent Dance/Electronica Release!

British India, another Shiny band, have also been nominated for Best Australian Independent Album for their smashing second record Thieves. Yay them!
The AIR Awards are run by the Australian Independent Record Labels Association for 100% independent artists. The 2008 Awards ceremony will be held at The Corner Hotel in Melbourne on Monday 24 November. Team Shiny plan to head along and get smashed in celebration... though maybe not as smashed as last year when British India took out the award for Best New Independent Artist 2007. That hurt.

23 October 2008 : BRITISH INDIA
It Ain't No Fucking Disco for BRITISH INDIA
Recent UK deportees British India will embark on their final run of Australian shows for 2008, before taking a well deserved break. It’s been ‘no fucking disco’ for the lads who, on their first international trip were detained at Heathrow Airport for six hours after a 23-hour flight, before being sent home under armed guard and with an alcohol ban to boot. Their crime? The wrong visas.
Of course our heroes returned to the UK the following week to play their sold-out showcase in London and are now negotiating a UK release for their second album Thieves.
Beginning this weekend in NSW the aptly named ‘This Ain’t No Fucking Disco’ Tour runs nonstop from now until New Years Eve when the band draw the curtain for 2008 at the massive ‘Purple Sneakers’ NYE Party in Sydney. All show details are up on our TOUR page.
Catch the band live in action before they take a hard-earned break!
