The finalists for this year's 2019 Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards have just come out. Alt artists are leading the race with Aldous Harding, The Beths, Troy Kingi and Avantdale Bowling Club all showing high in the category lists.
Some awards like the Pacific and Jazz sections have already been announced but there's plenty more. The official Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards will on telly, live on Three on November 14 (8.30pm). We plebs can also join in the fun, for a price: General public tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster.
Finally, the Westies get their day: The Legacy award this year will go to one of our favourite pub-stomper bands Th' Dudes. Bliss, indeed.
And the nominees are (roll those drums!):
