Plug for the Heavy Blinkers for the PLUG Awards
Posted in Artists/Bands, Sounds Local on 11.23.06 20:59

Maintaining the current habit of timely postings locals the heavy blinkers [find some of their music on 3hive.com mentioned in the previous post] have been nominated for a PLUG Award. The PLUG Awards are ” different from all of the institutional accolades for the music industry Those are all devoted to recognizing the mainstream hits. Very rarely do these honors reach, let alone embrace, independent music or the community of artists and fans who now represent more than 25% of the global music market. We’re a community that thinks for ourselves – we don’t take our cues from mainstream media or marketing. PLUG is about the independent music community coming together to recognize our own.

We’ve discovered these records on blogs, in magazine blurbs, fanzines, recommendations from our local record store, in IM conversations, in links from friends and passionate testimonials overheard in line outside a club”.

Sounds OK I guess. The important part right now is that the blinkers are nominated for best video for “Try Telling That To My Baby”. You can find that category under Music Categories [obsessive] and you can watch the video below:

UPDATE: The Heavy Blinkers’ “Try Telling That To My Baby” has also been selected to be part of the 5th Annual Indie Music Video Festival
