The Presets Kick Kaboose
The duo's trophy room is looking pretty chocka these days, they've raked up an impressive bag of awards this year already and Friday night it was capped off in the most exemplary fashion imaginable with their winning of the 2008 J Award for Album Of The Year for the unstoppable second album, Apocalypso. The J Award is for an album of outstanding achievement as an Australian musical work of art - for its creativity, innovation, musicianship and contribution to Australian music, as judged by a panel at Triple J, Australia's nation-wide youth network. The Presets join the list of legends alongside previous winners Wolfmother, Blue King Brown and The Panics.
