NME USA Awards 2008: MCR, The Killers, Kate Nash Get Some Win In


The NME USA Awards were broadcast live Wednesday, and I'm going to do you a favor and just list the winners, courtesy themusicslut:

Best Video: Justice - DANCE

Best International Live Band: Arcade Fire
Best New International Live Band: Klaxons
Best New Live Band: Vampire Weekend
Best New Solo Artist: Mark Ronson
Best Breakthrough Artist: Santogold
Best Solo Artist: Albert Hammond, Jr.
Best International LP: Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare
Best International Solo Artist: Kate Nash
Best International Track: Klaxons - Golden Skans
Best Band Of The Year: The Killers
Best LP: Foo Fighters - Echoes...
Best Classic LP: Lemonheads - It's A Shame About Ray
Best Indie Track: The Killers - "Tranquilize"
Best Breakthrough Track: MGMT - "Time To Pretend"
Best Indie Live Band: My Chemical Romance

Wanna know who the competition was? A full list of nominees is here. Interesting that Kate Nash trumped Lily Allen, considering Lily was a factor in her rise to fame.

One thing I don't really get? The usage of the word "indie." But now I have that Kelly Clarkson song stuck in my head, oy.

Maybe by "indie" they meant "a group of very upstanding, self-sufficient young men".... no?

That would be the only reasonable explanation.

Now, I have "It's a shame about Ray" stuck in my head!

and yet, you think mcr are emo.
you really must be tripping.
you keep your indie and leave mcr to the fans.

Yay!
Vampire Weekend, Arcade Fire, and Arctic Monkeys are great bands.
Kate Nash is awesome too.
And MCR...indie? They aren't even actually indie...they are on a major label for gods sake!
