Montreal Indie MIMI Awards

I am not a big fan of award shows because they are so obviously subjective but when they are related to the indie scene I like to give them a plug. Montreal’s own MIMI Awards (Montreal International Music Initiative) were awarded last night on their 10th anniversary so I thought I’d just let you know who the winners were in Montreal’s red hot music scene.

I would love to feature more of these type of indie-oriented award shows so if your city has something similar drop me a line and let me know. Thanks.
