Best Artist / Band To Dance To

IAN SELIG

Gold Winner The Mellotones

Silver Winner Roxy and the Underground Soul Sound

Bronze Winner Asia & NuGruv

The Mellotones have moved around a lot—hopping between three regular venues this year; they’ve just set up camp Thursdays on The Marquee stage and the band’s many fans always find it. “The community supports us—we don’t have to leave town every weekend or for months at a time to be a professional band,” says Jeffrey Mosher, singer and saxophonist with the eight-piece outfit. The Tones celebrated 20 years as an entity last December at The Marquee, and on November 16 and 17 will do something a bit different at Neptune’s Fountain Hall. “It’s gonna be weird not having a dance floor,” Mosher admits, “but I think our show translates to a theatre setting. There’s lots to look at.”
