La Roux
Jul, 21 2009
Twelve nominations have been announced for one of Britain's most prestigious annual music prizes, the Mercury Music Award. The award is given along with £20,000 ($33,000) to the most impressive British or Irish album of the previous 12 months, according to a panel of industry experts. Among the nominees are Bat for Lashes' Two Suns, Florence and the Machine's Lungs, Kasabian's West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum, and self-titled releases by Glasvegas, La Roux and Friendly Fires. But only retro electro-pop duo La Roux have the honor of also appearing on a rival award shortlist simultaneously announced by pop blog Popjustice. Their singles-based Twenty Quid Music Prize nominees include La Roux's "In For The Kill", plus eleven more including Lily Allen and Little Boots. Both prizes will announce their winners on September 8: the Mercury after a star-studded televised ceremony, the Popjustice after a "London judging debacle." What are the chances of La Roux being £20,020 richer seven weeks from now?
