TCE nominated for Best Rock Album ARIA

The nominations for this year's ARIA awards are online. While last year's self-titled debut album garnered six nominations, including "Best Urban Release", this year The Cat Empire have only been nominated for a single category: Best Rock Album! They are up against some (rock) groups like Grinspoon, Shihad, Little Birdy, and Evermore. The ARIAs will be presented on October 23, so fingers crossed until then.

The film clip for The Car Song was one of two clips by Ben Quinn to be nominated for the "artisan award" of Best Video. Ben Quinn's other entry, for the song O Yeah by The End of Fashion, took out the prize.

In other news, Two Shoes continues in the ARIA Top 50, now at number 45 after 21 weeks straight - almost half a year. The next single will be released October 3rd.
