Better Than: Staying home with Ugly Betty
This year's Awards program was a colorful and diverse celebration of local music and people. If you weren't at our special affair at Ruby Skye last night, here are this year's winners without further ado.
2008 SF Weekly Music Awards Winners
Bay Area Maverick: Lyrics Born
Rap/Hip-Hop: Subtle
Dance/Electronic: Wallpaper
Alt-Country/Folk/Singer-Songwriter: Sean Hayes
Club Night: Saturday Night Soul Party
Jazz/Blues: Nice Guy Trio
Experimental, Etc.: Uni and her Ukelele
Indie Rock/Pop: Thee Oh Sees
Metal/Psych/Punk: Wooden Shjips
International: Brass Menazeri
Soul/R&B/Funk: Lord Loves a Working Man
The real delight in watching the winners was that pretty much everyone seemed surprised and excited to be given an award. International awardees Brass Menazeri thanked their fellow nominees and even said how much fun it's been to share the stage with some of them. That's pure class.
