SKETCHBEAT have been nominated for an "Indy Award".  Not once, but TWICE!  The deadline is the end of March, so please vote for us soon.

These nominations are done by London venues who choose their top 3 unsigned acts, and put them up to win a coveted "Indy Award.  Sketchbeat were nominated by both "The Bull & Gate", and "The Clapham Grand" - one of the only artists to have been nominated twice.

So what are the Indy Awards about?  We were wondering too.  This is what they say:

"The INDY Music Awards have been set up to recognise and celebrate the hard work of Independent Venues and Promoters (IVPs) and the artists they showcase. Over 30 of London's top IVPs have come together to select who, in their opinion, are the very best artists that performed in their London venues in 2006."

There is a big Gala night hosted by a Virgin Radio DJ at the Clapham Grand taking place on Tuesday 15th May.  This is when the awards will be presented, and some artists will perform.

BUT... the things is, it's all done on votes.  So we need YOU, yes YOU, to click on the link above or below and vote for us.  It's very simple, and should take only a couple of minutes and we'll be forever grateful.  The deadline is the end of March, so get your skates on.

If we haven't told you before, we love you all.
