The Fly Awards

The nominations are out for the inaugural Fly Awards, which will take place at The Forum in London town on 6 Feb. Also confirmed is that Bombay Bicycle Club and Wild Beasts will both play at the event, alongside The Horrors, Peace and Thurston Moore.

Moore will also receive a Living Legend Award (providing he keeps fulfilling the ‘living’ bit up until 6 Feb presumably), while The Horrors will get an Outstanding Artistry prize and Parquet Courts will be honoured with an Album Of 2013 gong for ‘Light Up Gold’, which is being presented in association with Amazon, which possibly means the award will be presented on stage by a remotely piloted drone, and – good news for the Courts here – will be very tax efficient.
