Last night was FBi Radio and Time Out’s Sydney Music Arts and Culture Awards (or, to those-in-the-know, the SMACs)! This was the 2nd annual SMAC (ouch), dedicated to outing things-that-add-zing to Sydney.
It was a great night, with a great group of nominees (would love to see all these folks at the next IS!). As FBi co-runs the SMACs, its a pity they can’t be nominated. The not-for-profit station is a real engine to making Sydney a more wonderful place – with a crew that’s full of heart and committed to boosting the good stuff. And of course, Time Out’s been great at making that good stuff easy to find.
Dan Ilic of Hungry Beast fame was the very game MC.
So, you’re probably thinking WHO WON, ALREADY?! The Marrickville collective running the Red Rattler, that’s who.
Being nominated was huge and it was great to have been in the company of such a worthy field. Others in our category (Best Collective) included Even Books, Trust Fun and the Imperial Panda Festival. Check them out. They all look set to do interesting stuff in 2010.
